Well I was trying to prove a point with "un-persuaded" opinions. It only took one post I see.

I guess it's real, in that it's not a figment of your imagination

i thought this was supposed to be a joke? =\
anyway, definitely fake
the rim on flowing hair dollars has denticals, not dots.
the hair strands are too thick
liberty's face is too small
the letters and numerals are of the wrong style
with a deep (for 1795) strike like that, most if not all of the stars would have the lines inside visible
the eagle looked like he gained a few pounds
the ribbons on the reverse are too thin
etc..

That bird looks more like a dove or a pigeon than an eagle

Just by the picture my guess is it is an absolute 100% genuine authentic guarateed replica --- but the COA may be suspicious if you have one. Don't those sell by the pound --- you know, like potatoes?

Those are an "official strike" for the very first Cracker Jack prizes, back in the days of our Founding Fathers...well at least as far back as 1999.

I think the proper term would be "silvertone". I'm actually glad my recycled soda cans are going towards "Numismatic ventures"

As with tools and such, it's nice to see the Chinese putting out quality affordable new coins as well.....
