There is a debate going on in one of the Metal Detecting forums about this coin (NOT MINE). Some claim it could possibly be authentic, but to me it looks like a modern copy. What do you guys think?

    I am sorry to be so blunt, but that coin is absolutely not genuine. Zero chance, period!

    The style is wrong, the lettering is wrong, there is just nothing right about it, sorry.

    It is as fake as Dolly's well, you know.

    Very fake, as a coin, but a pretty neat little pendant, nonetheless, and a good detector find, if that's what it was.

    I've neglected my detecting buddies for too long, having only gone out on one or two digs in 2009. Maybe with the fall season and cooler weather...
