Hi everybody!

Would you mind telling me what is this coin exactly and whether it is genuine or not?

How much could it be worth in case it's genuine?

The design is called a Draped Bust/ Heraldic Eagle.

Unfortunately, this coin is fake.

Welcome to the community!

Unfortunately, your coin is a fake. And a terrible fake at that. It is a counterfeit Draped Bust dollar, which is among the most highly counterfeited coins of the US. Look up photos of a genuine example, and you will notice many differences between this fake and the genuine ones.

Certainly not the real deral. It's interesting, though, for the very obvious doubling of devices on the reverse.

Nowhere close to being real. The stars should be closer to the edge and the date is off. If it was real, this coin would be made of silver and silver does not look like that. If it were real, this coin would be worth about $2,000.

Sorry about the bad news.

Thanks for the link, g04. The "Pixie" is horrible.
