Looks like an authentic 1842 Zacatecas type II to me.

The last Zacatecas coin with the strong eagle :)
Looks fine to me as well (although you'd better bet on TwoKopeiki)

The coin is REAL - ZERO doubt. For 1842 there were at least two planchet edge mills in production ONE using very old and worn dies. The 1842 dies marked a change in style. When the new square tailed bird dies were created they were made without the lowest left cactus pad. This can also be seen on very early 1843 Zs coins as well. It is a common variety.
