Something seems off to me. The first image of LIBERTY below is from the OP’s photo; the five images that follow are from genuine CoinFacts examples.
@JDark did you use AI to enhance, improve, create, manipulate, or adjust your images in any way? That might explain it. If not, it may very well not be a genuine example.
The lower counter of the B in all of the authentic images are shaped like a half cresent moon. The fake has a straight angled top line.
Well on the bright side, your friend doesn't need to feel bad about cleaning it now. I know you said you submitted it for the educational holder, but I wonder if it has any value to counterfeit collectors? While not truly contemporary, it definitely predates the influx of Asian die struck counterfeits.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

I knew it was a copy by this photo. People forget a coin has three “sides”.
