Found this token in a box lot acquired from a major US coin company. As far as I can tell, it appears authentic. But, would most appreciate input from our colonial community before deciding whether or not to have it pro-authenticated/graded.

Important: I have zero expertise in colonial coins and tokens.

Boy, it's hard to say. The missing denticles, uneven lettering, and crude details would make me worried that it's just a replica.

However, the letters in George have almost exactly the same voids and bumps as this certified VF specimen:
