It looks like it went through a "lick the thumb and rub" cleaning.

Looking for a grade please (it is in the grading section after all).

Nice one, any 20 cent coin is a keeper as 1858 is the
only year business strikes were issued.

Sorry I forgot to grade it, I will go with VF30

Yes, nice hard coin to find. I think Zonad had posted one not too long ago, but not sure. I'd say VF-30, cleaned.

I agree with VF-30.
Is it coinage or medal alignment?

Coinage alignment.
I knew these were mostly weakly struck, but though it might be F-15/18 or maybe just squeak in to VF-20.

I think you thought right, VF20.
Here are some graded VF30, note how much less wear they have than your coin, especially on the reverse.

"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Tough crowd; it's like having 3 linesmen from the senior football team show up in the freshman's locker-room, asking if he disrespected their girlfriends... .,...or their 3 lacrosse team "mean girl" girlfriends ! I'll keep to F-18.
My only previous one was from the 70's. I was collecting by the Charlton book , (I remember having 1973), and wanted to get EVERYTHING ! It had a plugged hole ,but it was near my zero budget and filled a hole. I kept it until 2011 when I found the above coin on ebay . Loved ebay then ! Sometimes I made stupid-low bids and won the auction . All in it was less than the listing for a G-4 . If I ever send any in for grading (in bulk, I'm cheap remember), it's still worth it .
