Cleaning a house today of an Elderly couple that had passed away and found the following coin. Wanted to get someones opinion if it is real or fake. Took it to the local dealers in town, but they weren't able to give me an answer. Thank y'all in advance!

    I agree it is not the real deal.
    I would seriously question any info from those local dealers in
    town going forward if they looked at this piece and did not offer an answer.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Agree. Probably bought at a souvenier stand at some historical tourist site.

    Tin and lead is what was considered pewter
