If you are refering to the slight "chamfering", I don't see a problem. Here's the Nicholson piece for comparison. Notice here the denticles are very weak. I have a 1770 which also has very blunt-like rims and the coin is a solid MS65BN with maybe 20% red peeking through.

Lloyd, that's what I was unsure about. They didn't look filed but I didn't really see this on other coins I looked at. I think it should be at least an EF because of the amount of lustre.

Mac, that's what I'm referring to. I only own one other British copper and the denticle are strong. Thanks for the link. I think I'll submit it along with a few others to NGC.
I will defer to the English copper experts here... but I will at least offer my thoughts. It should slab. I like the coin and it should slab in the AU range...perhaps as high as 55.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Spinaker, thanks for posting. Yours and Macs examples made me feel better about it. I think I'm sending to ANACS though. I though NGC was a bit cheaper and there slabs won't go in an Eagle album anymore.

Looks like a fairly strong coin to me.

I have quite a number of NGC slabs in my Eagle album, they are tight, but they go in.
