This seems to good of a drawer find to be a real. Size, weight are correct, non magnet. In looking at images online I realize there are a lot of fakes out there but I'm not a coin guy. Is it worth getting it looked at?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

To CCF! It's a fake. Don't waste your time or money getting it looked at or graded.

We "look at" them for free, so it was "worth it'.

Off-center bust design was used for one variety of 1795 only...

2 puncture marks on the throat identify it as a common CN "Vampire counterfeit":

I looked at this for half a second to determine that it's a poor quality, base metal fake.
