I saw this on ebay. Can this coin possibly be real or is it a fake?

The mint mark isn't correct for that year.

Too much depth in the understrike,no rotation on the reverse. I wouldn't trust it.

The entire coin looks cast close up. The person who made it attempted to hide the imperfections by cleaning it.

Everything but the date/mintmark itself was doublestruck? And as pointed out earlier, the reverse is normal? Doesn't add up.

the seller's name is backwoodscoins - little did the buyer know that they are made the coin in the backwoods.

You can see all the features of the 2nd strike except for "IN GOD WE TRUST"
That is completely missing.
