One dealer I knew had a few of these lightweight pieces around that he let people handle. They feel light and insubstantial, not like what the silver coins do. 3 grams light doesn't seem like much but you can sense it when you hold one.

This is a horrendous fake.
It's imperative to educate yourself on coins first, otherwise you will continue to get ripped off.
You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

A very helpful fact: no US coin prior to 1827/1828 can have a raised rim! That's a dead giveaway if you see it, so always check the rim first.
