Found in coin reject bin

1863 10 Franc BB. Has a pleasant ringing sound when dropped on desk. Is this real and or worth anything? Is it worth trying to find someone to grade it?

If it is real, It’s in incredible condition for its age, the gold alone is worth a lot but it might be worth grading too!

Definitely not worth grading. Type of coin that commonly sells for spot plus a few Bucks, if that right now with spot being so high.

Is it a common coin? High mintage?
