Could be a Doubled die variety.

But you really need to post better and brighter pictures.

 

Your right

 

Please tell us what went through your mind when you posted that ONE lousy photo?
Helping collectors from only their photos is hard enough when they post Full Image, in focus, complete obverse and reverse photos, but few can help you from what you posted.

 

From the one image, I'm thinking counterfeit.

 

I'm with @ldhair. Those look like the soft, mushy letters we often see on cheap fakes.

Have you weighed, measured, and magnet-tested it?

 

I'm fixated on serifs today. Zooming in on his photo shows them splitting, showing a doubled die.




Whether it's a counterfeit or not I have absolutely no idea or opinion... beyond my ken.

 

I'm on the cast counterfeit boat. The doubling probably came from the coin getting set into the casting sand twice or slightly bumped.

 

I'm mentally ghetto

 

It's the real deal

 

I like your opinion it's real

 

Everything weight by the point

 

The second image of the reverse shows the coin is fake.

 

How

 

Compare it to this one. It should be clear to you.

 

I got the real coin right but counterfeit not clear

 

This type coin was highly counterfeited. You need to have it vetoed by an expert who can put their hands on it. To me, it doesn’t real.

 

Yes, it does appear to have some doubling. However, the coin's not real in my opinion. Luster isn't right. Design isn't right (eagle is really flat). Denticles don't look right.
