Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading exceed the current market value of a mid-to-high grade copy of this issue unless it were a pristine 9.8.

Appears authentic with period-accurate paper stock and printing methods. The 15p price stamp is a standard regional variant for the United Kingdom market of that era. Staples appear original.
