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:

I'm definitely suspicious, have you weighed it? What does the edge look like?

Not far out from this...

I guess...and this is just me...
For the amount of $$ I've pi$$ed away on coin grading...
What's another *Rarities $300 (+1% GP) to have PCGS look at him?
I'm not sure what the grading fee would be if he came back unauthenticated?
I guess it comes down to "risk and reward"?
I'll tell you what...
I'll split the grading fees with you for half the in (our coin) with the coin...?
Let me know what you think?
