I just purchased this coin and am wondering if it is real and what grade it would be.

It is counterfeit so grade doesn't really matter.

I'm worried about the weight.

Quote:
Genuine halfpennies weigh around 9.2-10.8g and since they were struck without a collar, the diameter tended to vary between 28.5 and 30mm. Contemporary counterfeits are fairly common, especially 1775-dated pieces, and they are smaller in size and generally thinner.
