esnible noted: This is a cast fake. First, the weight [34 grams] is too low for the coin to be genuine. Second, casts have less detail that struck coins in similar grade. Compare to this genuine example: [url]http://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.
php?LotID=2860&AucID=6&Lot=109[/url].
Note how your coin has less detail, especially in the crevasses that are not worn.
Third, it looks like there are similar-sized bubbles throughout the coin. Although 'bubbles' can also indicate corrosion, it should be a warning sign if they are evenly distributed throughout the coin.
