Seated Liberty Quarter real or fake?

I'm new at this but have been burned already with fakes. This coin seems to check out and the weight is correct but not sure about the color. Any opinions appreciated.

    Stars seem a bit oddly shaped, but its not my series. Looks wiped too.

    The date an other things look funky. I'd say pass if you can. Even if it's genuine, it's been cleaned with lots of hairlines.

    Not my series, but the look and color alone might give me reason not to buy it. Here is a comparison photo from our landlords.

    If you're new and have been burned already stick with certified coins IMO

    First initial 1/2 second impression: fake.

    Question, are you saying that the reverse strike is very strong (hammered) for one of these? If that's the case, I disagree. Did you have a chance to look at the genuine coin image in the 5:46 PM post? Something does not compute. Agree?

    Walk away.... this is not authentic and even if it were, the cleaning/rub etc. would make it a bad deal. Cheers, RickO
