You will probably need a better picture for someone to tell if it's fake. I don't know anything about older coins but I recommend trying to get a clearer picture and post both sides of the coin.

We hate to complain to a new person, but there are a lot of real experts here, and they could most definitely help you provided the pictures are good enough. Also, please crop the picture and make sure that it is right side up.

99.9 percent sure it is a reproduction. I do not think there are any real examples in that high of grade. There are thousands of reproductions out there.

Really no chance it is genuine. The finest known is no where near that condition. Better pictures will verify, but definitely don't get your hopes up!

It looks somewhat off. I don't know what is bothering me.

The D and S's are wrong versus a real one, and the X is too small. I believe it is a fake based off of a Dickeson copy, seen here https://coins.ha.com/itm/colonials/...bnail-071515.
