The weak rims and denticles are characteristics of Chinese counterfeits. However, I'm not an expert on these so wait for a more knowledgeable member to comment.
I would say no, compare it to this pic form a real on on stack's bowers.
You have a copy and unfortunately, it’s quite common for copies not to be marked as such.

The one in the original post looks like the one I ordered on Aliexpress, besides a few others.
I wanted to image them an post them here for people to look at what you can but for $1.11 from China.
Yes, very convincing but soft on details in the main giveaway.

It's a real copy.
Yes it is a copy,similar to the above. IMO, The above Galley Mint copies are close to the real one
Here is one possibility: The Gallery Mint copies were all marked "COPY" on either the obverse or reverse. The item in the original post could have been made by taking impressions from two different Gallery Mint copies and making transfer dies. The details in the item shown in the original post seem very soft on both obverse and reverse. This could have been the result of making such transfer dies.
Genuine Birch cents are extremely rare.
Looks like a copy... weak denticles...lack of hair details.... I agree with the consensus here... Cheers, RickO
