    The date definately looks suspicious and it has been harshly cleaned.

    poke the 9 with a toothpick or dip it in something and see if the 9 falls off.

    Harshly cleaned fake. The date was the first thing that jumped out as being wrong.

    the date does look Fake to me.

    and obviously cleaned with a brillo pad.

    It looks like a coin without any obvious wear, but with only XF detail. In the case of most coin designs/types, that means the coin is counterfeit.

    The date looks like it was carved by Mr Magoo...

    The 9 is all wrong. The denticles are too sharp for a coin that no longer has any breast feathers.

    Hi there,

    Cleaned fake. Very odd "wear" pattern. Absurd digits, stars etc.

    Edited to add: Oh yes, why? WHY NOT?


    Best,

    Thumbs down.

    Whizzed fake or altered date...

    Fake... AND A VERY BAD ONE AT THAT

    I agree with the prior comments. The coin is a counterfeit. Not only is the date wrong on all digits, but the devices are also very incorrect. The coin was probably harshly cleaned to try to pass off a counterfiet as a genuine harsly cleaned coin.

    Forgot to say, you might try looking to see if the coin is actually a wrapper covering a chocolate coin. image If so, just throw the wrapper away and eat the chocolate.

    My thinking as well.
