Token driving me nuts

Hi all. Nice decor. New here. Been a coin collector on and off for almost fifty years, but have only gotten into some world coins the last few, as well as tokens. I hope to add more than I take. I've read twenty of the almost eighty pages of posts in Coin ID, so I hope I get this right.The token below says July 4, 1874, 98th anniversary of American Independence. Other side has a flag and long may it wave. !3 stars, for colonies to be sure. It is about 26mm, 6.8 grams, it looks like a metal wash over a coarse metal.
I installed Tineye, posted it to my webspace, and came up blank. It's one of about five mysteries i have, but is the one in front of me at this moment. Oh, I have checked online token catalogs, too. My only hope is that someone here has seen one... or maybe a washed token like this that would help me feel comfortable with saying it is from 1874. Who would think to counterfeit this and use 1874 for a date?
Thanks in advance. I have to get back to the remaining sixty pages now.
Cheers,
Chase

Hi,

Maybe it's a copy/repro rather than a counterfeit. Is there any stamps, on the coin or the rim, maybe a "C" or "Copy" mark?

Not found a great deal about it. Here's a link that describes the coin, but gives no picture or indication of size/weight, although it does say white metal, which could be why yours is plated.

Also found this: http://www.cwtoken.com/Civil_War_Token_Type_Set/Patriotics/Pages/F_-_Flags.html#13, which gives an image and die number for the reverse, but can't find any matching obverse.

Hopefully this may give you something else to go on.

Thank you! At least I know this is a known issue. As for a repro, I just don't think there's anyway someone would bother. Yet, I still am going to keep looking for one more, but at least my momentary woes have been alleviated.
Cheers,
Chase
Oh, PS - No stamps, no C, no anything other than what is stated

I have seen many weird tokens come around me in the short time I have been into them. If you have no other info on it, Might I suggest checking out Worlds Fair Tokens?

1876 Philadelphia, United states, Centennial Exposition worlds fair.

These things from what I understand, brought a lot of artisans, and the like, together from around the world. Several tokens have come from the Fair, I don't know about this year specifically, but I would think that maybe it could have been bought there. I know it is 2 years older than the date the fair happened, but crazier things have happened than someone making a coin like that pre dated the event. Either way, maybe the Worlds fair will lead you in a different direction.

Goodluck

Thank you, much. I didn't think about the exposition being there in 1776!
