Just received as a gift, they inherited and didn't know it was real coin.   |

Doesn't look genuine to me.
Checked the varieties and there are none where the obverse stars are touching the denticles like they are in this coin.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

 Unfortunately, it's fake. The first things that gave it away for me was Liberty's "fat" nose and "beady" eye.  Edited by Nickel Guy

Yeah, sorry to tell you, but I agree with the other members on this one. The coin looks to be a fake.
The facial features don't seem to be consistent with that of a genuine coin, and the lettering gives the overall appearance of a modern cast counterfeit.

Counterfeit. Ms. Liberty did not look that in 1838. Sorry.
It's probably some recent Chinese creation.
