The easiest way when dealing with early American coinage is to take it to a coin dealer.
These coins are hard to evaluate until you hold them in your hand. Since many of these coins were abused, buried or otherwise damaged and since the production methods were primitive by today's standards, its really hard to describe what makes a coin genuine or not.
The first thing I'd do though is search for any indication that "COPY" or "REPLICA" (or sometimes "R" or "C" ) is stamped on the coin, if you have one of these on your coin, you can know for sure it is a fake.

How can you tell if a Continental Currency coin is a fake?
Look for the word COPY or REPLICA in tiny letters somewhere on the coin. All replicas made since the 1970s are required by law to carry that marking. If the word doesn't appear, it's unfortunately not a guarantee the coin is genuine. Loads of copies were made before that time and were in everything from "collectibles" sets to promos from gas stations. You'd need to have it examined in person to be certain, but as there are far more copies than originals you should be prepared to find out that your coin is not the real thing.
