I would go for the United States: copper Braided Hair large cent, 1848, repunched date. I like the clean look of the coin.
I am really surprised at that grading at 63+. Very baggy, somewhat weak strike. I would have graded it at 61. Maybe it is better in hand?
That looks like a typical coin that I find with my metal detector that has been buried in the sand for a period of time. In constant contact with...
There are many counterfeit gold bullion bars, Some even in packaging that looks just like the original. Some are tungsten that are gold plated....
I think when someone asks a question like "This must be a rare coin as it has no mintmark", should be referred to the Redbook as a source of basic...

A bit hard to tell, but there is some of what appears to be rub above the ear in the hair on the obverse and on the left side of Monticello on...
Also look at how the lines that make of the star boarder don't meet up correctly. Most of them are cut too short or too long.
The coin that is counterfeit is the one posted by Idhair. The shield is a dead giveaway, especially the point at the bottom the boarder lines and...
You may not know, but your coin is a contemporary counterfeit three cent piece! (Still has some value as such.
I see a slightly weak strike and a touch of color change on the leg and eagle breast on the reverse. I would grade it at AU58.
I would keep it (in a holder). No large premium, but a nice note.
I agree this appears to be a typical strike and would grade it as a MS64. I don't see any luster or wear on the knee which is the most common...
