Yep, the clashed 'E' is there. I would not have noticed it without that photo because it is very faint and the coin is worn. Thanks for helping me...
I don't see anything that makes it look fake to me. Being circulated makes it more likely the coin is genuine.

If you are a member of ANA you can submit your coins to NGC.
I hope you did not pay much for this coin because I agree with rlm.
