    Is this a real coin? Is this place really worth dealing worth? IMG_20190410_004127282.jpg IMG_20190410_004259144.jpg IMG_20190410_004210645.jpg

    The coin is a modern copy.

    It is, as @NLL mentioned, a modern replica, and a rather crude one at that. Just a novelty, if a rather fancily packaged one.

    Forty years ago I "invested" in Bradford Exchange collectible plates. Bad mistake. Ending up giving them away. My guess is that this series of replicas would be interesting, but very difficult to resell in the future.

    Yep. But garbage in nice packaging, at least. ;)

    Give it to some kid, or teacher. Let 'em know that the coin is a replica, but maybe it can be decoration in a classroom or be used in a school project.

    It's garbage in numismatic terms, but not completely in educational terms.

    I agree with Lord Marcovan. Give it to a teacher or kid. Explain what it is (and isn't).

    Had a bad situation with that Company. They seem to be promoting more cheap crap. Stay away!
