I have an idea of where I think it is based on using Photograde, but I'd like your opinions. Thanks. My birth year +100. Thank you!

This one appears cast, does it sticks to a magnet?

That's unfortunate. I'll have to see if I have a magnet around. What makers you think it's cast?

Its porous surface and strike lacks authenticity compared to other genuine 1882, especially the date.

This does sadly look counterfeit perhaps, seems off.

I tried it with a strong refrigerator magnet. Would that not be enough to tell? I could feel the attraction to the metal on my Yeti, but nothing when I touched it to the coin.

Is there another test I can do?

For the grade, I'll say VF. I'm not going to comment on authenticity as I am not too familiar with this series.

The reeds look like crossties on a railroad track.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

This is what I got from Google.

Early issues (1838-1853) weigh 6.68 grams (103.125 grains), while later issues (1853-1891) weigh 6.22 grams
