Unfortunately it looks to be a counterfeit.

 

how do you tell if it is a counterfeit or do I have to take it in? where would I have to go?

 

Well the first thing that tipped me off was the stars.http://www.coinfacts.com/half_dolla...llars/1838_half_dollars/1838o_half_dollar.htm

If you want to take it somewhere take it to your nearest dealer.

 

Face as well

 

Your coin has a mintage of 20 which makes it one of the rarest US coins. Unfortunately your coin is a fake. (Counterfeiters like to counterfeit rare and expensive coins.)

 

Bummer I figured when I read about it but you never know until you ask. Thank you.. I don't think there is a dealer around here... thanx again
