I would say no. The toes do not look right at all along with the faces of lady liberty and the eagle.

Die pairing is 1/1, but as with any raw Trade, buy at your own risk. Surfaces dull and lifeless, scroll at hand looks off, toes look off. Overall appearance is not very reassuring.

I can't make a call on fake or real from these pictures, but I will say that it needs professional authentication. At best, it's a harshly cleaned, severely overdipped AU details coin.

It looks genuine to me. But when in doubt, pass.

Looks genuine but you're better off buying these in slabs since there are many high quality non-contemporary fakes. One thing you can do is ask the seller to weight it for you. If it matches expected silver weight (27.22 grams), with this level of detail, it's very highly likely to be genuine.

Looks genuine, but buying these raw is risky.
