Take it to a jewelry store, they can weigh it for you.
Howdy gryphx - Welcome to the Forum !! You received a pretty close to fair price. You need to keep in mind that nobody is going to pay you full...

Weighing the coin will provide the answer as to which denomination it is.
Much easier way - weigh it.
