Greetings all, a friend gave me this 1854 s the real damage on the reverse looks like somebody scraped it to see if it was gold. I believe the gold coins are supposed to weigh 33 point something, the one I got is 26.4 g, making me believe it's copper
Did some research but was getting conflicting stories about some education Thank you very much

No need for a reverse picture to tell it's a bad fake. Just the weight alone is enough.....

Well the core is exposed because someone took a grinding wheel to it. Appears to be brass to my eyes.

I agree with it not being genuine.
