Is it fake or not? How rare is it?

Can someone valuate it please.

 

Thanks in advanced

The remnants of the coin look genuine. But, it is hard to tell if it is not casting from these pictures. If original, possibly was worn as jewelry. Scarcer type. I would like to get it in a vastly better condition. Cannot possibly value it, for it has no value for me.

Questionable - looks like something was done on the coin but I can't quite tell what it has been through.

I think that the "metal flaws" on the eagle side are left from the soldering of a needle to be able to wear it as a broch.

I cuncur with BKB, at best it is an ex-jewelry piece, at worst case it is a poorly made or purposely worn-out cast copy. If a real coin, with the current trends and rarity scale, it should be worth north of $500-750, although very little of collector value is in it in my opinion.
