My first impression, other than this being a very banged up coin, was that I didn't see anything jump out to indicate a fake. I'm curious what everyone who confidently said fake is seeing. I think the chances that a first time CCF poster has a genuine 1799 dollar are low, and the amount of damage on the coin and poor photos makes it suspicious, but I don't think we should just jump to conclusions.
Obviously, an accurate weight and dimensions are important to know, and if the design matches a known variety, testing for metal content may also be helpful. It's quite possible this is a counterfeit, but I'm not ready to conclude that yet based on these photos.
