Is that the Denver Mint overdate? Honestly, from the pic the underdate looks too weak for the Philly variety.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

I agree with you, Sean. It doesn't look like the Class III doubled die we all know and love. The "1" should stick out more on the left side and protrude slightly below the base of the "2". Also, the "4" should show some doubling. It's quite possibly a fake or perhaps some damage that happens to resemble the variety.

I agree with the others: either fake or a die chip or damage
