Hello. Hope I choose the correct forum to ask. This coin weighs in about 1.5 under what it should to be considered real. What else looks off about it? It was dirtier than this but had to remove enough to see it. Sharp features. Tell me there is a chance! Lol. Thanks for any help.

Sorry, but it is not real.  It does look a little better than the usual replicas, the lettering is a bit clearer.  Compare it to the genuine varieties though and you will see it just doesn't match up to any of them.  Welcome to the forum though.

Thank you! I did notice it is kind of grainy or looks more like galvenized fencing lol. I guess a mix of zinc, pewter  or who knows what? But found with antique bottles so thought there was a chance.
