Real or Fake?

[strick]

Found this at a park several weekends ago. It's an old park but not this old. Elizabeth is spelled "Elizabet" on this coin. Could not find anything like it on the internet. Sorry for the blurry pic's but I can try and take better ones later if it's worth the time.

Fake

Appearance automatically makes me think fake. However, I am not an expert by any means. Just doesn't pass the test of a coin coming from the ground. IMO

I have no idea if it's real, but if it is, it's in pretty amazing condition with little wear. We need the folks from across the pond to weigh-in

If it's blurry and out of focus for you, it's blurry and out of focus for us.

Thank you Crusader and others for your input. I did find a Fake Spanish cob in this park. It was marked "copy" on one side. This piece does not say anything like that so I just wanted to check. I'll try and get a better pic later today...

Sadly, that's a reproduction. The originals are hammered and have a very uneven strike, they are also of thinner metal. Still a really cool find, I'd take it over a Mercury dime any day.

No need for a better photo, I can tell its not hammered. Although as a side note, Lizzy produced the first series of Milled coins in Britain.

if CRUSADER says that type of coin is fake, then it is fake and the case is closed.

That's the way I see it too. Once again thanks for the help fellas.
