Fairly obvious fake. Look at the distance between the stars and the rim on your piece, there is very little space. Now look at the PCGS site, the distance is much larger. The base of the 2 on the reverse is completely different etc.

No way this is real. It would be quite a find if it was. The date is altered at best and an outright fake at worst. There are no knob '2's with the 1823 date. And the '3' doesn't look like a 3 over 2 overdate either. The stars on the obverse look too flat for the apparent grade. Sorry. Hopefully it's silver at least.

With out knowing these well still looks fake based on the date and stars against the rims.

Almost worth have it sent to a TPGS just to make sure. It is supposed to be a 3/2 and not just a 3. I don't see any trace of a 2.

Don't bother with PCGS the coin is a fake or altered. The date is completely wrong, especially the 2.this is what the real one looks like compare the dates.   |

Grandpa's coin is fake. Grandpa probably knew it was fake, too.

Could be a heretofore unknown variety.

I have yet to see anything rare "from Grandpa" on this forum that wasn't fake.

This is a Chinese fake. It was made using a die transfer of 1818 B-10 with the date altered to 1823. The right point of the second star should have a spine on it.
I see a lot of these fakes with so-called provenances. Since they have only been around 10-15 years, I think the majority of them are BS fantasies.
