This old man was a customer at my old job. He has given me many old coins and antiques. I do believe that it's an original, but of course I am not positive. How could I tell if it is real or fake?

It's most definitely based on a coin from Tyre, Phoenicia. It's a silver Shekel. The bird is an eagle.
edit: another link, look 4th coin down
