does not look obviously fake, are the weight and diameter correct?
Can you post pictures of the whole thing as well.

Not the best pictures for determination, but I do not see the die scratch in "Liberty".

I appreciate the help. Diameter and weight are correct. Date and mintmark alignment seem to be correct. I couldn't make out any of the 'Liberty' polish line/die chip diagnostics.

The date alignment is right and the mintmark is a "tilted S" variety. I don't see the "rabbit ears" die gouge in the left upright of the R or the die scratch in the horizontal of the T in LIBERTY, but perhaps the picture is just not showing them.

Take 2 more photo's of just the "RTY" Take one, then turn the coin in the light 90 degrees and take another. So far...no diagnostics visible.

Check for added 3. Shape a little "fat" but could just be wear.

I'm not calling it genuine without seeing the die markers in the R and T.

The die markers on Liberty are the solid indicators of a real or a fake 93s

What kind of history does the coin have? Grandma's change purse? Bought at local coin shop? Flea market find? Always remember that unslabbed key date coins are unslabbed for a reason.

I agree with Paralyse that the 3 is a little suspect, especially the thickness of the upper loop.

Seems to be missing the "rabbit ears" in the foot of the R so unless pictures aren't showing that for some reason I would have to say this is not a genuine 1893-S. There was only one obverse die for that variety so it needs to have all the diagnostics present.
