The pictures including yours is not good enough to tell. Yours is out of focus.

The S looks like a snake, a genuine S has upright verticle parallel serrifs and is more compact. I agree bad pics, but def not genuine.

Arizona Jack, that avatar of yours looks like something straight out of 'Faces of Meth', though I know it isn't. Strange though....

btw, I completely agree. No matter how pixelated the image is, the MM is in the wrong spot. I would avoid that coin.
