Hello all. Recently found this coin while metal detecting at a beach in south Florida.

Scratching the surface reveals another metal. The outside layer was tested to see if it was gold, but the acid test points to maybe less than 10kt gold. Don't know what the inner metal is...

I think it is a replica, but wanted to get a second opinion!

Welcome to T-net. Some people get a kick out of seeding beaches and places we hunt. No big deal. Look at them like pull tabs!

I've found a couple of those knocks offs but mine were copper colored....there should be a molding rim on the outside of your coin.

Bill, there is a molding rim on the outside. Nice little conversation piece with people not in the hobby. Thanks all for the responses!
