Nothing leaps out at me, except the apparent notch by C in AMERICA. Is that something over the edge of the coin, or is there really a cut of some sort there?
If you're askin' about authentication, I ain't your guy. Although I will say I see no obvious red flags. I don't know the series that well, though I've admired them.
Not really- I believe this is perhaps the most common date of the series. The strikes are uneven as reflected by this example. This seems to look typical

Has a look of a counterfeit to it, in my opinion. The dull gray surfaces, lettering far from crisp and too close to the "inner circle" of design. What's the weight on that one?
I compared the obverse side to a couple of other 47's. Should help illustrate what i'm talking about. Also, this is just a gut feeling - not really an expert on this series. In addition to the things i listed previously, I also noticed that the lettering is a bit "off" on your coin. For example, look at the "M" in "AMERICA" in relationship to the rays.
I dont know the coin, just a BIN on ebay.. I always looked for this for type and thought the price was ok (with rebate).. but my gut said something looked strange about the example but I wasn't sure if I was overanalyzing...
