Rough shape. I couldn't attribute it to known examples.
$40 or make me an offer.
Thanks for looking!

    Not a counterfeit. Just looks like it was exposed to acid or the ground.

    The edge is somewhat beveled, also look at the date font. Not even close to the "real thing."

    Looks real to me. Just corroded. What is its metallic content? 25% nickel, 75% copper?
