Agree with grade and comment.

No photography maven, but could the deepness of the red be an artifact of the imaging process?

Not sure there are many coins that would slab 100% of the time although I would admit that looks like a 2/3rds of the time kind of coin.

so buoy an old man's mood by shipping me the leather pouch as a consolation prize.
How about we send the leather pouch with a bottle of iodine inside for good measure....and call it a day

The Rite-Aid across the street has iodine. Merthiolate, mercaptan, per Abe Kossoff, are good
Intention has been determined, by the collective wisdom of this Forum, to be the ultimate criterion for artificiality. So if I put a coin in the leather pouch without intending for it to tone and then it does, I am innocent and the toning is now kosher.
I never intended the high sulfur content of my washday detergent to tone coins either, so it's OK to look in my sock drawer
So if I put a coin in the leather pouch without intending, BUT REALLY HOPING for it to tone, and then it does, I am innocent and the toning is now kosher - hmmm....perhaps this was the question you meant to ask

Don't try to get inside my head; sometimes it's dark enough in there that I can't see what's going on myself. Based on our decades-long friendship, you in particular would know how innocent I am.
Now that's rich..really good!

I have found that the rule of thumb for slab grading is that they grade it 5 to 10 points above the actual grade. In the old days they called that "chestnut grading" which met, there rarer the coin the more the graders relaxed the standards. That to me is double dipping. You get a high price because of the rarity, and then you up it again because of the over grading. For the consumer that sucks.
The only saving grace with slabs is that that coin should be sold on the wholesale market at the same grade as it trades on the retail market. In the only ethically challenged dealers bought the coin in VG and sold it as a Fine or maybe VF if they were really ethically challenged.

As I said from the start.
A nice VF20, no doubt.
