Though it isnt authentic, keep the coin. The fact that it has been in the family for so long makes it a chrished momento nonetheless. Not all things have to, nor should have, a substantial monetary value. Perhaps one day you will be able to get a real mccoy 1795 and reflect both on your family, as well as the interesting and fascinating events going on in our nation at that time. It sounds silly, but each time I visit my bust dollars I reflect on what it must have been like during the very begining of our nation. If only those coins could speak! On a sidenote, speaking again of family, I keep on my keyring, an old skeleton key that once opened one of the doors in my great grandmothers old homeplace. Everytime I look at it I think of all my summers spent with family growing up. When my grandmother passed in 2011, I found it in a jewelry box and put it on my keyring, where it has been ever since.[/QUOTE]
