Maybe I should send it in?
HAPPY COLLECTING
Here is a comparison
Looks OK but the image is granular. I'd save my money and buy more coins.
What he said.
The pictures are inconclusive to my eye, but the mintmark looks a bit fishy. I'd have it inspected in-hand by someone knowledgeable, or if that's not easily attainable, consider sending it in.
It looks raw and cleaned. Why take a chance on it. "Sending it in" costs money and the results may disappoint you. Just buy one that is already slabbed.
I know its raw and cleanedim asking about if its authentic

You won't know for sure unless you "send it in" and "sending it in" costs money and takes time. I don't know if it is authentic.
I don't think that it is genuine. It has some raised areas on the obverse under the date, by the "N" in "UNITED" and on the "A" in "AMERICA" that don't look good to me. We have also learned that cleaning is one of the ways to hide counterfeit imperfections.
Even if it is real, the surfaces are rough. It's not just cleaned; it's also looks corroded.
There is a high grade, genuine example.
And here is another.
Well it looks like it's a 50 /50 weather or not its real

I think it's genuine and will "genuine" at PCGS.

It looks like a cast counterfeit to me.
What does it weigh?
It does not look sharp enough. I dig IHPs all the time and even with the various states of exposure to soil conditions, some details are still crisp. IMHO. Peace Roy

The mint mark isn't right.
I would pass on that one.....Looks like it has been cast....just too many strange marks that appear raised... Cheers, RickO
The cheekbone and eye, or tips of feathers, would've worn before "LIB" too, right? It seems they're in too good condition to have that other amount of wear.
Well thanks for everyone's help! I think I have made up my mind to pass on this coin
