That last '23 has some serious issues that would bodybag it at the big 3.
Even if genuine and even if it was in a big 3 slab it isn't worth $895 unless it was say F15 or VF 20. There is a glut of genuine coins in lower grades so buy a better one for that kind of money.

I agree it is a problem coin. The surfaces, particularly on the obverse, appear porous.
It does appear to be a genuine example.

OK,to me the 3 sits a fraction too low but I'm paranoid with 23 halves.

The date does look misaligned but that is normal for a 1923 halfpenny.
I'm not sure if paranoid is the correct term as the sellers of fake 1923 halfpennies ARE out to get you.
A little scepticism is healthy.
