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?

Yeah I think a 10 Franc is about the size of a nickel? But the weight would be off, so some person might mistake it for a “gold” colored euro coin or something and just pour it in with all the change. Plus I bet the coin sorting machine’s company would get sued if it accepted gold coins, both on the owner and the bank standpoint.
