To me it looks ok.

The right edge is the only one I'd have doubts about. But the left edge is showing the right sort of rounding so the right should show much less.

Since you have it in hand, feel the edges. There should be a slight curve from front to back, and a ridge on the back side.

If you have a good magnifier, look at the edges from the back. There should be a slight bit of chipping on all four edges, often very slight.

A very clean cut with no curve on the front and no ridge and /or chipping on the back is usually trimmed.


Or.........Go with it being trimmed. I'd be happy to pick it up for a bit over the usual "A" price.
