Do you think it's real or not? If it's real it seems like it's in surprisingly good condition although the planchet is more porous than I'd expect, as though it had been cleaned or something.

Not a normal issue with real Pine Tree shillings. It also appears to be to thick, real ones are mostly bent and quite thin. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
