I don't know enough about this series to say with certaintly it's not a counterfeit, but it looks legit to me based on the picture and what I know about them. I'd call it VF-25 it might get to VF30. there obvious obverse rim wear, wear on her bust line, hair, lettering is getting weak and stars are dragging towards the worn rims.

Does it have any edge lettering left still? you'd need an expert on overton varieties to get further than this, or the overton book, I'm not that guy for that part.
