FYI, this is by far the most "common" Stella design. This particular coin sold for over $300,000 at auction in August 2016. If your coin looks like this then we should talk! However, odds are you have some sort of replica. Please post pictures so we can give you decent advice.

The letters on yours are much closer in thickness to nss-52's "fake" image than to Jaobler's genuine piece. I vote that yours is also fake, even without having seen the obverse.

I hadn't seen this "coiled hair" version before, but one thing jumps out at me -- there should be a period before the "3", like there is before the "7" around the rim. The spacing and the size of the lettering looks a little off as well -- the "S"s, "G" and "3" are bigger than the "A" and "7"s, for example. Here's a proof version of the 1879 coiled hair, but you can see the differences, front and back: http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/88058

Unfortunately, the "typewriter style" font used on the obverse pretty much confirms it a counterfeit - the differences between this type and the typeface used on the actual coin are stark.

 Unfortunately, it appears you have a fake.

When examining any modern coin that has a portrait, look carefully at the facial features and compare with a clear image of a known genuine example.
To do this, it is even a good idea to put the image of both coins alongside each other on a computer screen to the same scale, so that visual comparison becomes much easier.
We are all programmed from birth to develop a strong ability recognize facial features; that is important to our survival, both as babies and as grown adults. It can be put to good use to help in the detection of fakes.
