 I am sure the experts (I am not one of them) will chime in soon. |

@apur1976, first welcome to CCF. Second, it would be super-helpful to have a pic of the other side of your coin as well as a diameter and weight.

3.2 grams which I should have checked upon purchase, honestly it has been found to be a FAKE! Quite good actually, the metal composition is barely any silver, non magnetic...be aware that these are around...the guy had an 1804 and a 1800 also

Sorry to read it's a fake. Any chance you can get your money back from that guy?

Dude just by looking at the horrible details from the reverse alone it's a 100% fake. Get your $ back asap.

If it's too good to be true...
Might qualify as one of the poorest counterfeits ever made for the type.
Hope you can return it.

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."

A rim? and reeds are pretty funny. Poor eagle's foot is so small it cant even hold that bundle of cartoonish arrows.
Really a bad fake.

I think putting it in a 2x2 marked counterfeit is enough. Fakes are collected, especially of early types. This does not look like a contemporary fake, but some fakes are valuable. I am not an expert, but someone should come along. Some keep records of modern fakes too for instructional purposes. Hold on to it in a clearly marked holder.
