Better than my poor ol' mother who tried to cut a toenail with an electric bread knife a few years, she couldn't find her scissors.

Yeah.. too bad, and I agree looks very close to VF for a grade.
Send it to PCGS and get a VF20

Oh well I feel your pain and this gives me a golden opportunity to confess. About a month ago I bought a 1945 silver dollar that was graded MS-60 by ICCS. The plastic holder was laid flat in the envelope but I'm usually very careful in opening the end seam. Not that day. I could feel the outline of the coin and assumed the holder was doubled over. Snip, snip, big snip..... I cut the holder right in half, between the coin and the grading card.

I always hold the envelope to a light, before I make the first snip...

As previously said.."at least you didn't cut into the coin".
As a rule,..I always peal back the flaps on the larger envelopes. .
....and on the simple white envelopes,..I cut into the far end and open the "end seam" and slip all out from the opened end.
