1776 continental?

[Jamezz26]

Hey I've had this coin for awhile and i was just wondering if anybody could tell me if it's real or not.

Welcome to the forum. You have a copy, of which there are a great many. It does not have any numismatic value.

How can you tell?

The surface texture and design details do not match what is seen on genuine examples. Once you have seen several, if not dozens of genuine ones, as well as copies, it’s usually easy to be able to tell the difference.

This is definitely a copy. However, it is not a copy of the 1776 Continental Dollar. It is a copy of Montroville Dickeson's 1876 version of the Continental Dollar. Many copies and restrikes of the 1876 medal have been made into the late 20th century.
