I'm going through some coins that my grandpa apparently collected. From what I can figure out, this is likely a copy of a 1776 "Fugio Dollar". There is a visible seam running around the edge, meaning that it was cast instead of struck. I wonder what (if anything) it is worth. The weight doesn't feel right. I'm guessing that it is made of pewter or something.

@joe Joe, I shared your coin in my newsletter. My suspicion is that a counterfeit / copy of a Fugio dollar is likely not worth much aside from interest - BUT there are all kinds of pockets of numismatics, so I'd be interested to hear if anyone else responds (and if anyone responds to me, I'll let you know)
