I've been doing some consolidation in my collection lately and came across a handful of really eye-catching toned wheaties that I've saved over the years. They're not necessarily high-value coins, and they just don't flow colorwise in my album, but they've got some great toning that I think would look amazing in a slab with a proper grade versus just sitting in a flip.

Before I submit anything, I wanted to ask:
In your opinion, which third-party grader is the best when it comes to certifying and grading toned Lincolns? I'd like to stick with either PCGS, NGC or CAC simply because of the holder design I think would be more aesthetic than ANACS or ICG etc.

I'm a bit cautious because I know "questionable color" is a higher possibility, and if that happens it really would be pointless. even though none of these coins to the best of my knowledge have been artificially toned.

I'm not looking to sell or flip these — just think they'd be fun to have slabbed and displayed properly.

Any thoughts? Here's a 1910 and a 57-D example of the kind of ones I've got laying around. photos don't do them any justice!

ANACS slabbed this gorgeous specimen as a MS62 for me. I know you said you don't want ANACS so maybe have them slab it first and then do a crossover with PCGS? Up to you if the added cost is worth it.
