got absolutely no experience in coins this old. So don't know how to grade it, or if it's legit to begin with. Found it at a dealer and wouldn't mind getting it.

so, any ideas on grade and fake/not fake?

thanks

Looks good to me. Even though a lot of these look
nickely (is that a word ?:) they are 100% copper.
Weight should be around 5.4 grams and the coins diameter
23.5 m.m.'s. Grade looks to make a VG8.

It's legit. I'd have to say VG8-10 Details/corroded.
