I think when you stumble across a rare coin that is known to have counterfeits, the normal assumption is that it is likely fake. You can start with the overall look, pattern, color, etc to see if it seems right for the age and expected condition. Next you can weigh the coin. This should weigh 26.96 grams...minus some amount for the hole. If the weight is off, it is usually because another metal was used other than the proper silver-copper mix. Finally, you can look at specific authentic die marks and known counterfeit markers to make a determination. Probably some experts on this forum that can talk to that much better than I can. Sometimes it is really easy, like a mint mark that didn't exist for a certain year.

I know little about these, but it seems quite possibly genuine based on some quick photo comparisons. Weight checks out.

Tell us how you came to acquire this from your "bank".

No way that is a bank find!

The coin does not look genuine to me. There's XF level meat without XF level detail. Plus the surfaces just look off imo.

I'm also curious about the "bank find" side of things. Clearly was not found in a bank roll, so how would one stumble on one of these

The bad news is that it's an obvious fake, worth a buck or two as a novelty only.
The good news is that the hole doesn't hurt the value one bit!

It was a bank find, not in a roll obviously. But if it's fake then it's fake. Thanks everyone

I would take it to a professional coin dealer to get it evaluated, just to be sure. If the weight checks out, as well as many of the finer details, you just never really know. It could be worthless, it could be worth a pleasant amount. It won't hurt to get it checked!
