If you doubt the authenticity of any coin, take it to a coin dealer.
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.
I don't think they had dollar coins back then.MoreThe coin is almost certainly a fantasy piece or even a fake. The US didn't strike any gold coins until 1795; the first $20 gold coins were minted until 1849 and the first circulating ones were dated 1850.
If you asked the question, then it is probably fake. Most of these are. See a coin dealer.
There are only 20 that were ever made so chances are yours is a fake. If it is real, it would be worth over 120,000 dollars. It is best to take this to a coin appraiser as their are many imitations.
The originals and official restrikes were all struck, not cast or molded. But be nice. Call it a reproduction, not a fake.
The coin has to say Continental Currency on the front with the 1776 date, sometimes they miss spell it and it says continental Curency. It should also have a sun and a sundial with the word Fugio to the left of it. On the back there are 13 circles representing the 13 colonies. Each circle should look like they intertwine with each other, and the circle in the center should say we are one. the ring around the center should say american Congress. Little bumps should Surround the edges on both sides. Hope its real! :)
Authentic coins were made of copper. Many replicas and fake coins made from "base metal" exist.
I personally don't think that it is worth anything because then, it would be fake money. Fake money is not worth anything. But if they don't notice the mistake, then it would have the same value as any ordinary 1924 1 coin.
A counterfeit coin is often referred to as a fake or a forgery.
What do you refer to as the "the original AUS coin" and why do you think you have a fake?
Look for a seam along the rim edge of the coin which would mean is a casting and fake. Check the weight. An authentic coin should weigh 268.5 to 269.5 grams. Much lighter or heavier means fake.
If you doubt the authenticity of any coin, take it to a coin dealer.

NO it's a fake coin.
Yes, if it has the word "COPY" on it, it is a fake coin.
Your question isn't clear. Are you referring to counter-fiet coins? These are coins made illegally for profit. They are considered fake as they are not minted officially.
