When I ran across this the boldness of the mint mark in relations to the much more worn details of the coin struct me as very odd.
Closer look the shape of the inside open area of the mint mark got another question mark?
Then the location of the mint seems to be to far to the left, like its to much beneath the 9?
Your thoughts please?

    It's bad. Note the very fuzzy devices on the obverse. No mintmark positions are needed on this one, one of the more obvious ones to the naked eye.

    All the letters look off. Devices have unnatural relief. Maybe a die-struck counterfeit. Ouch.

    Look “off” to my old eyes.
    I wouldn’t touch that thing either.

    Added correct style and type mintmark also.

    The date is way too thin. What a strange specimen.

    Looks like an added MM to me.... That jumped right out, and if I were looking for one, it would be an immediate pass. Cheers, RickO
