False Dies

Hey guys. I sent off about 50 $1 from 1870s-1920s coins to PCGS to get graded.
One of them came back as Counterfeit - False Dies. This particular coin was given to me as gift from a non-coin collector. I decided to throw it in with all the coins that did get graded just fine. The coin actually weighed like it should. Anyway, I actually forgot about it until I got my coins back.
Can anyone explain exactly what "false dies" means exactly? I'm assuming this could have just been a replicate die or a novelty die?
What should I do with this coin? Melt it, destroy it? It has no value and I don't want to stick it into circulation and have someone else fall into this trap.

How bout you post clear close up pics of the suspect coin. No one's gonna comment until we see it. Good luck.

It is probably a counterfeit but as stated, need clear pictures of both sides to verify.
