If I had to guess from the pictures taken I could not say it was genuine nor could I say it was a forgery. I have concerns for several reasons. 1)The horizontal bar and the diagonal bar are the lightest part on the coin and are not showing any elevation. (it looks flat not raised) and the "bars" are very light when compared to the rest of the coin. 2) The tail of the 2 isn't visible past the 3 in any of your pictures. 3) The doubling which is prevalent on other over-dates of the same year is not present in your pictures.
Does mean this is forged? No...just means nobody is willing to put their opinion and name on its validity without better pictures.
These are just my observations and opinions.
Happy Hunting

Oh....Also It might help if you take the coin out of the flip. You may get a better focused picture. Just trying to help get this resolved for all of us. :)

So no comments on the reverse having to be a tripled die on a genuine 43/2? I read that the op's coin has a doubled reverse not tripled.

John, I have never read anything that has discussed the reverse of this variety. I do know in the CPG it discusses an obverse die with a slanted gouge inside the 3 that is often mistaken for this variety.

I won't be buying an SEM to take photos of coins. Here are the best I can take manipulating a lens and a 16x magnifier. Here, again, is the doubled 1 and Y.  Here are two views of the 3.   |

The image of the 3/2 looks correct. Nice find. Note how the end of the foot is outside the 3. That what you need to see along with the horizontal loupe on the 3.
