I have a S2 chain cent that NGC graded Fair 2 details with graffiti. The graffiti is just a couple of light obverse cuts, not too bad. I am...
One giveaway is the crude lettering. Compare the shape of the head and reverse figure to a genuine one and you will see the difference....
It is not a Machins mills, but it is a contemporary counterfeit. I can't help with value, but there are avid collectors of circulating...
NE shilling, Willow tree shilling, and a Higley copper. I won't even be fussy on the variety of the Higley!
Your coin is well worn and worth around the $30 range, as a connection to your father I would consider it priceless though. I have a low grade...

No need to have it authenticated, it is the real deal. It is a Maris 63-s variety. It is one of the more common varieties, but a nice coin....
