Looks real, but appears to be an 1864. Did you dig it up?

 to the CCF! Not a fake, but a real 1864 that spent a lot of it's time corroding. Most likely underground for YEARS! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

1863. From an old collection but was never cleaned. Tried everything to clean it - didn't work... I guess it is casting, not minting...

I think this is just heavy corrosion.

If it's real and 1863 then it's a pattern.

Check for weight. First picture suggests 1864 to my eye.
In this condition, difficult to prove if genuine, especially without much of a provenance.
Take an each way bet, and keep it anyway.
Appears to be a ground burial recovery.

Too heavy for aluminum, maybe nickel?
