Earlier I had asked my friend in Canada if she had any other coins she got from her mother. She sent me some horrible photos of this coin, and this was the best one she took.. I know these are counterfeited, so tell me, is it real or fake? She tells me it appears to be made in pewter.
Ok thanks! She says it's smooth all the way around, and no line edge in between in the middle. She said it doesn't look like two pieces infused together as in hand there are no lines... I'll attempt to get better rim pics.
Guaranteed modern fake. These are available to tourists in the US. My pic of 4 edges is as follows: 1) Mexican 8R 1768, 2) Genuine Fugio "$" 1776, 3) Mexican 8R 1798, 4) Genuine US $ 1795.
