Hello and thanks for adding me to the forum.
My fiancé has had this for years. She got it from her father. Am just wondering if it’s an original or not. There were some variables. Far as I know is that a magnet won’t stick to it, it has the 7-6 stars on the front and 13 on the back, berries on the branch, no print on the edge of coin, and ‘Liberty’ is missing. Any info would be great. Thanks!

Looks to be real.
Edited to say welcome to the forum 😊😎
Welcome to the forum!
Looks fake to me.
Welcome, looks fake to me also. Missing "Liberty" at the top of the obverse.

This is a definite fake! The reverse is common to a family of different dated counterfeits. Recently wrote a Coin Week article on these...
I stand corrected. My apologies.
As others have mentioned, unfortunately this is a fairly modern fake, and not of great quality. Sorry for not better news.
Thanks guys! I figured it probably was fake. Have a great day!
A fake and not a good one.
It's a fake, and I'll spare you the meme.
Not even close, can be seen from. mile away, ok 24"
Ok ok I got it thanks sheesh. I’m a rookie. Everyone was new to this hobby at some point. Lol
Don't take it the wrong way, no one is trying to give you a hard time about it.
You were smart to come here and ask for opinions.
I understand. Thank you.🙏
I went through my archives and could only find 1799 dated examples of the "missing LIBERTY"; images just for reference.
This coins was already posted ATS, and was already told it was fake.
Edit note: The pics are different, so it may be another collector with the same fake.

I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
I’m not a rookie and I completely missed this one. I have no excuses.
It’s always good to come here and ask questions👍
