1807 on one side 1817 on other side
Magician's coin.
Type collector, mainly into Seated. -formerly Ownerofawheatiehorde. Good BST transactions with: mirabela, OKCC, MICHAELDIXON, Gerard
Fortunately both sides are fake, so at least they didn't bastardize real coins.
A fantasy counterfeit.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
New clearer pictures 1807 capped bust half on other side 1817 capped bust 1817 over 4
Clearer pictures just help to verify it is a fantasy coin.
No numistamic value but keep it as a conversation piece.
Yup, still fake no matter how close you get.
Thanks for deflating all my tires have good day
Sorry, they're just junnk man.
The face on that 1817/4 looks quite sour.
It appears to match the Patrick Mint advertising token (upper left):

The "1807" side is a replication of the "Bearded Goddess" variety.
Did you happen to notice that the token is quite a bit smaller in diameter than a normal half dollar coin ?
(27.0mm for your item, a genuine Bust half dollar is at least 30.5mm).
PS:
It is most likely silver-plated copper.
1807 O-111b obverse and 1817/4 O-102 reverse. A neat piece for a counterfeit/magician's coin. Have never seen one like it.
