Is it just me or is something about this coin off? To start the shape of the "4" looks odd.

There's more than the date that is wrong.
There are several other markers indicating this is
a counterfeit such as the bow and ribbon detail, missing
stem, wrong shape ear on Obverse to name a few.

The sizes of characters of the year look all different in terms of size and slight orientation? Could be my eyes after staring at a computer screen for the past two hours though =D
