Just wanted to add 100% bogus
There are certain diagnostics apart from the obvious surface signs (look at the ribbon in particular, the obverse legends, and the denticles/rim)
Cast fake. Lots of "relics" from casting on obv/rev, the area left of headband is pretty bad.

If someone's selling you a coin that costs hundreds of dollars for $50, alarm bells should be going off all over the place.

At first I was in the circulated and cleaned camp, but looking at some of the things that were pointed out, I think it's fake.
