No the counterfeiters use genuine numbers almost every fake slab out there will verify on the TPG's website. They wouldn't destroy the coin but...
Your attribution is correct. The obverse clearly makes it S-84,85,86, or 87 and it is fairly easy to eliminate 84 and 87. The leaf below the O...
I'm thinking maybe French Jeton 16th century.
I don't buy it. To have the die offset that far and to have that shallow a design feature impressed into the die there would be a LOT more...
