Wasington Pattern piece, authentic?

[Diggincoinz]

Hi, a friend of mine has this coin that he picked up in a box of other early 1800's coins from his friend back in 1978 that used to belong to this guys grandfather he tells me. He's sending it out to ANACS this week to varify.

He asked me, but he didn't like my answere. I hope I'm wrong and what he has would be awsome!

The coin does have a couple small spots of corrosion.

I told him that I think that it looks way too precise or perfect. Maybe I'm wrong? But given the circumstances as to where he got it from AND that he lives 2hrs North of Lancaster, PA. Could it be?

I took pics, laying this coin right in the book, he must have an older issue book, my new 2008 Red Book shows higher values.

I'm also posting this in the What is It forum, didn't know where I should put it!

Anyway, here's the coin he has:

As soon as I saw it I would say fake, no doubt.

Looks like a reproduction.....the obverse corrosion mark seems to correspond to the photo in your first group of pics. The reverse seems to replicate the same mark on your second pics.....Either you have a repro (most likely) or you have the coin the photos were taken of.
