@ame, first welcome to CCF. Second, I moved your thread over to the world coin forum so that we can get some good eyes on it. I will say that these fat-man dollars are extensively faked and yours may very well be one of those. In the meanwhile, can you please post the weight? Thx.

In some cases (like this one) all you need to do is post a picture (but more focused than this one) and members here can tell you this coin is not genuine.

The reverse has the denomination which help in determining authenticity, but looks like a cast copy.
