Not the best of pictures to go by but it is just damage. PMD
That didn't't happen during the striking of the coin.
The eye almost makes it look fake.
Would like to see a more in focus photo.

The details look very crude to me and the lettering looks off. My vote is a counterfeit. I have never seen such thin font for "one cent" on the reverse.

Agree, based on these photos it doesn't look genuine.

The 1903 cent is a very common coin. I would normally assume it's genuine since a counterfeiter would likely pick a more valuable date to copy. However, this one does appear to be fake.

Better photos would be helpful!
