Just cut out a square of the board and submit it in situ. That'll prove a point. Unless there's wiping hairlines, of course.

I think it's truly a shame if any TPG finds fault with that coin's toning.

It's certainly attractive, but I've never seen an SLQ with that kind of toning before. I'd want to see the coin in hand and check with someone I think is an expert in the NT / AT matter before considering a purchase....
Assuming the coin "passes the test," I probably wouldn't buy it because attractively toned coins in this series bring very strong premiums, and this coin in MS 65 or 66 FH is a type coin.

<< <i>That looks like a coin that was part of a group, bought by a forum member years ago and for which images were posted. >>
It does. I have seen those colors on SLQs before, in NGC holders. But like TDN implied, you might have very tough time getting it into either an NGC or PCGS holder.
That coin was from a group a forum member bought a few years back in a custom holder. All the coins are graded as far as I know...don't remember PCGS or NGC.

I think NGC graded them and that the quarter graded 66FH or 67FH, probably with a star.
Aren't there a number of similarly toned 1929's around like that? Many have been graded by PCGS. Or I'm a thinking of another date? Mark, didn't you have one for sale recently?
Also, I find it hard to believe that could be considered not "market acceptable".

You're thinking of a group of 1928 Quarters which look quite similar to each other. But they look very different from the coin in this thread.
It's gorgeous, but good luck getting it holdered. You know somebody somewhere will have a knee-jerk "AT" reaction to it. I think the element of doubt would be strong enough to potentially cause it some problems at a TPG.
It looks like the OP`s coin is a 29? As a comparison here is my 29-S and we all love it in the this house...I purchased it from a very respected dealer a few years back and sits in the same older holder today... Please bare with my lacking photography skills and my way out to lunch white balance...In hand it`s absolutely stunning with blasting luster...
In general, I think most silver coins from the 1916-1932 time frame with colorful target toning were likely dipped a one point on the past. The typical toning is gray for most silver coins, including commems prior to 1933.
I'm certainly no expert on toning and color, and the coin looks beautiful, but it looks like there's a drop of red paint on the eagle's tail. Can someone explain to me how that could occur naturally? On the other hand, the other coins do looks naturally toned to me.
For those that care the coin is PCGS MS 66+FH CAC.................MJ

<< <i>They can take it out of the oven now, it appears to be fully cooked. >>
Perhaps it appears that way to you and some others.
However, the coin was likely stored in the album page that was imaged/shown for a long time (and without any intent that it tone) by a previous owner. It and the others in the type set album it came from, might be very good examples of naturally toned coins that are questionable (to some), due solely to their beauty and unusual color. But not because of the storage method, time or intent involved.

I've seen a few coins come out of those old acid laiden press board coin holders where the rims are jet black and a bit porous. They just stayed in that environment for too long a period and if left there, the tarnish would eventually creep into the surfaces of the design. It appears since it has been holdered, it was removed in the nick of time.

From the pic, you've got to grade that at least ms66.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Here is one of the 1928's that I sold previously:

I have to agree with this comment. And, have to say, even though I like the coin, I believe it to be full on AT.

Gorgeous coin. I bought a capped bust dime from you and it's still one of my favorite coins.
