I am pretty sure this a fake but wanted to get the forum opinion. It is not magnetic. No scale to weight it.   |

Your local pharmacist will likely weigh it for you. It may be genuine with environmental damage and excessive cleaning/whizzing. I'm on the fence with this one!

My money is on it being a plated copper fake. The denticles, the date, and the poor strike on the sheaves are all big red flags.

I stopped by a pharmacy but they didn't have a scale. I put my money on fake too. I don't want to sell the coin as genuine and it's not.

Go to weigh it in a jewelry.

Horrifying. The denticles look 18th Century, not 19th.

That apparently over-sized, second 7 in the date makes me suspect, too. Yet, I have a difficult time imagining that a modern fake would have suffered all this abuse! My pharmacist would have weighed it! The jewelry store is a better suggestion though.  Edited by ExoGuy

Denticles look awful. Hand doesn't look right. Heck, nothing looks right. And that second 7? IMO, 100% fake.

Fake. I'd bet money on it.

I say fake. Here's why:
- Denticles don't look right
- the second seven is much larger compared to the other digits
- looks like copper where the silver is worn
- the surfaces look like that of a poorly cast coin

Out of tolerance. Devices, date wrong.

Given the weight, it's settled. Fake.
Sorry, my friend. :-(
