1808 Pattern Crown?

[azda 979]

Just wondering if this is genuine, can't find much out about it. It actually looks like an 1804 Bank Dollar on the OBV. Anyone tell me what i should expect to pay for a genuine one? Forgot to mention, its Bronze

Yes, there's a few of those fantasy pieces around. That's very attractive - I got a very similar bronze dark proof fantasy 1788 halfpenny with exactly that same obverse. Got it on eBay for the issue price of £9.99 (no other bidders ). If yours wasn't too expensive, it's well worth it, as it is a very handsome piece.
