It is not a coin.
It is some sort of commemorative token.

Looks genuine to me, but what I assume are the sellers pics are not the best.

Its a commemorative half dollar so they are legal tender & not a token

The low quality of the images makes assessing this one a bit difficult - at least for me. I questioned several details when looking over the piece, but the low resolution of the images did not allow me to be 100% certain of what I was seeing (either way).

I'm tending to think it's genuine, but will not make any guarantees unless sharper images become available (and an accurate weight is stated).

Is there a particular reason for your interest in this specific piece? (Much nicer examples are fairly easy to find.)

It was half the price I have been seeing, I will spend the "extra" money on others. It will fit okay in my circulated comm album.
