Guess the grade

You can see the casting pits on the obverse

If it was a bezel, the dentils on the obverse should be covered as well.

Here is another book that PM won't be reading.....

It's set in a sterling dish as @princeofwaldo pointed out.
I thought it was in some kind of plastic slab at first, but you can see it's set in a dish or ashtray or something of that sort when looking at it with this in mind.

 

If it is set in a dish, the dentils on the reverse should be partly exposed. The space between the legend and the dentils is too wide. Also, there appears to be a continuous line rather than dentils beneath the base of the presumed dish along the "AME" of AMERICA.

If it isn't a fake, then the coin has been altered to the extent that it wouldn't get any grade at all.

Sell it on Ebay.

 

Worth scrap is all

 

not genuine.....and why?

 

Been cleaned with the rest of the silver, cloth and abrasive paste.

 

You are a winner, thank you.

 

Not China? I think we should submit it as a world coin, and see what it comes back as--Chinese, Taiwanese, etc.

 

It's real, in the bottom of a chaffing dish or something like that, and heavily polished. Or at least that's how I interpreted the last post. Not sure when most of those were made, probably the 60s or 70s.
