I think this is a Fat Man Dollar but I am not sure. Does this appear to be real and if real what is the composition? It weighs 64 grams. Also what year was this from? Thanks.

    Does appear to be genuine?

    I wouldn't buy it as genuine.

    The coin is pretty destroyed. It seems to have no original surface left, and the photos aren’t ideal. I don’t know how anyone could authenticate that coin given the images and state of preservation

    So most likely just melt value then? Thanks for the comments.

    You may need to magnet slide the coin or ping test it to see what it is made of.

    Llamas and alpacas are camels. They aren't like camels, or related. They are camels. When was anyone going to tell me this?! How long had Bill Nye been holding out on us?

    He missed the 2 for the weight. Weigh again.
