I recently acquired this coin and am hoping to find out if it is real or fake. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
A quick google search shows one that looks almost exactly like yours. http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=4719 Yours also looks like a poorly made fake.
Good for you! It is either a fake or the date was altered. It should be 1986. By the way, welcome to the neighborhood! Chris
