    That's a replica, but it's a more convincing replica than many I've seen. As @Muzyck mentioned, the real ones are quite rare and expensive. They do turn up occasionally from folks metal detecting in Bermuda, but are usually very corroded and nasty looking, and were pretty crudely struck to begin with.

    Yours actually looks "too good to be true"!

    I took this to shop and they cleaned it and they scratched it to see if it's the material of the real one and he said it was. I don't know much about them. I'm new to this. And I had a family meme we that went to Bermuda many years ago and that's where we got it

    Any shop that would SCRATCH a coin to test it has no idea what they are doing!!! :eek::nailbiting::hungover::banghead::wideyed:o_O

    Cleaning is bad enough, especially when you aren't the owner of the coin in question.

    Especially a potentially rare and/or valuable one!!!

    Good thing it wasn't real, or they'd have cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars!

    This surely was a junk shop or pawn shop, not a COIN shop?!?

    Oh, and your getting it in Bermuda itself means little. The fakes are marketed specifically to tourists, just as they are in Greece and Italy and Egypt and such.

    It is absolutely positively fake. Not a chance of it being genuine.
