Looks real but there are some vertical scratches on the fasces that would make this a details coin IMO. Would still do nicely as a decent-looking album coin.
It came up at a local auction earlier this week. In hand, it still had that funky color, and it had the look of an old cleaning and retoning. Also, as Jaobler mentioned, some scraping along the lower fasces. So I passed.
