I have just gotten into collecting and found a coin that I am having trouble identifying and would appriciate some help. It appears to be from the Black Sea region, but that is as far as I have gotten, please help!

You are correct; it's a mass-produced replica Widow's Mite. If you do a forum search for "replica widows mite" you'll find lots of threads here on the forum like this one with this exact same coin - with links to religious supply stores where you can buy them in bulk.
