Is it yours? Is it even silver?
100% fake - it has a 78 straight arrow feather.
Bad fake typical of the crap coming out of China these days.

I'd prefer these over the good ones. Good ones making things awful difficult for collectors.
That's why you should buy expensive key date coins in top tier grading service slabs.

It has the reverse of 1878, so that reverse was not used in 1889. So I would call it not genuine...

Looks fake to me.
Counterfeit.
Ask @KollectorKing
I'll vote polished fake, from an arms length away.
I think we are starting to reach a consensus here.

That is a clear and obvious fakeroo....(a technical term I learned years ago at a PNW coin show
) Cheers, RickO
If I owned that coin, I'd use it as a golf ball marker on the greens.
