1776 Continental Curency Real or Not? Papaw's Collection 0

[RWC III]

I guess because I don't have a premium account, I have a daily posting limit. So I will make this brief. This coin, real or fake, I have had for 25 years. My grandfather got it somehow. He started collecting coins, stamps, and paper bills in the 1930's as a young man. 

This coin weighs 15.XX grams (scale does not do 1/10ths). So, at least its weight is correct. Its diameter is within the proper range.  

To the naked eye, it looks convincing in person. I am sure someone here can point me to a defining feature to prove it is fake, or real.

Although the original coins were crude by today's standards, they weren't quite that crude. There is much missing detail that can not be attributed to wear, and it appears to be cast.

I figured. But...but...but...my hopes and dreams BOB!! Even though I knew it wasn't real, I guess a little part of me just died.
