I would like to know if this coin is original or not, and like to know the value of it.  *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Would need to see close-up pics of both sides, but I do not have a great feeling about it. A highly faked coin. Color seems like a fake.
Does it stick to a magnet.

 First off, welcome. When genuine, these rank among among the more expensive U.S. coins. Reproductions (mostly of Chinese origin) outnumber extant originals by a substantial ratio, so the probability for stumbled across the real deal is very low. An accurate weight (to at least a tenth of a gram) and determination if a magnet is attracted to it would be the first steps that should be taken. But even if it turns out to be made of the correct silver alloy, knowledgeable collectors would be immediately suspicious of one like this popping up raw. Colligo ergo sum

Not Genuine. It has some decent value if it is silver though ($10+).
