Would a TPG body bag this boy for artificial toning?

From the Colin Cooke collection......

color combination. Very nice coin otherwise.
The natural interaction of the yellow toning in George's hair but not on his wreath;
the way the yellow touches only Britannia's hair, upper chest and neck
but not her helmet or garment would be almost impossible to duplicate
artificially. Real color flows and creeps, a fascinating interplay between raised devices
and fields. This flows.
To me this coin appears NT but perhaps some kind of environmental pollution
caused that particular color combination.
As to whether or not it would BB is another question. I've seen some terrific coins shown here that
were BB and I couldn't believe it.
So, yes, probably.
Ed to add: but with a strong provenance to support it, maybe not.

Ask if including a printout of the auction link/image/pedigree info, invoice, etc. would help to establish "legitimacy".
BTW, Who was SCA 30? Also, the existence of an auction image from SCA would also help.
Otherwise, they'll likely bag it, but it is legit.......no question, and it is much more vivid than your the image shown here.
P.S. If you bid on that coin directly from the Cooke sale, I kindly contributed to driving the price up.
Just window shopping and drooling

OK, I know it's not a headband, but it sorta fits the look.
I would say definite NT on that and a true beauty! PCGS would most likely "Gen" it, although I think it would be well received ATS.
