1795 COUNTERFEIT OR PATTERN?

[COINWATCHER]

I have had this coin for years and never thought it was real. I just saw a very similar coin on uspatterns.com which was a 1794 dollar struck on copper. What do you think of this? counterfeit right?

It certainly looks like a replica to me.

I was surprised to find that some of these pattern coins have reeded edges. Here is the coin I said looked similar.

When dealing with coins of this nature, it is best to have them expertly examined. In this case, a trip to one of the third party grading companies will tell the story. To say that a coin of this caliber is real just from a picture is utter folly.
