I didn't know what to think when I found this and about messed myself when I saw the 1/2 on one side and the 1856 date on the other... but immediately I knew something wasnt right.. the edges felt sharp and as I wiped the dirt off it wasnt shining like gold would... so, too bad, its a fake.

Bummer,,
There's thousands of those around. Scammers would put them in coin folders and tried to sell them to unsuspecting people at drastic discount prices.
