I Just found this coin in my grapndpa's stuff, does anyone know if it's real and is it worth anything?
It's big in size so i have no clue.

It's real, but it's a real replica of the expensive 1909 s vdb. Just a fun token, welcome to CT...show us more of your grandpa's stuff.

 

No, that's not genuine. Run the title of this thread through Google images and you'll see why for yourself. That leaves the question, where did it come from? Maybe there are some here who've seen these and would know, so don't split on us just yet.

 

I'll try finding more things haha.

 

So does that mean it has no value at all?

 

Considered Exonumia. Pretty cool piece. And it does have value to someone.

 

Freakshow value. I'm not being rude. That's the short of it, in the vernacular.

 

Actually I bought a similar replica from a bid board for $0.50

 

You can find them on eBay and other souvenir suppliers. This one costs more than most, usually 3.99 or so. Jim

You are correct. It is not real. I have one, too. It is about 77mm and weighs 5.24ozs./148.6gms. It was a gift!

They used to have similar ones in local 5 & 10 stores like Ben Franklin stores when I was a kid.

 

Is it real? It depends upon your definition of real. I think it is real, but, not a us mint coin.

 

Welcome to Coin Talk! I think those things are neat. Some of them in the junk stores at the beach are very light and others are nice and heavy. Hope you have a heavier one. Keep it for a paperweight!

 

Mine is Real.

Real Copper. 1 oz copper round.
