You sometimes have to stop for a moment and thank that you are living in such a great country. Ignorance of numismatics can be a blessing at...
The surface doesn't look right at all. Either it's dipped in some acid or cleaning solution or the worst case it being a counterfeit but I am not...
There are some coins that do have silver in it, which is fortunately worth more than a few dollars. Unfortunately I don't see if there are any...
Seems rather common - don't know if it's scarce or not but it doesnt' seem to be so.
It's a cast copy. Just worth slightly over it's metal value. Sorry.
