Ok, I think before any thing about "is it real" can be stated we need lots more information. 1776 is one of the most counterfeited dates so it is possible we are looking at a very good copy.
On the edge there should be two places were the design over laps or does not match up. Are these two places directly across from one another? Can you show us in a picture?
Can we see a close up pic of the date,(the "7"s look odd to me)?
How about a closer look at the "carolus" also?
This would be a big help, there are just some dates that mostly show up as fakes......1776 it one of them!
