1776 Pine Tree Copper, real or not????

[edgetech]

From what I have heard/read there is only one of these in existance and several forgeries, but can anyone tell if this is a forgery just by pictures?

I weighed it out and it weighs right at the same amount of grains that the original that is in the museum. It's a 1776 Pine Tree Copper and here are a few images. If it's possible I would take it somewhere to have it checked, what is a good place, and is it safe to ship something like this out if it is original or should it be hand delivered to check? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
