The date and MM don't look right. Compare it to this one.

That's what I thought too, the color is more pinkish, can't capture the true color in the pictures, and it also only weighs 3.09.. but the woman I bought it from swears it real. I've compared it to several and I just can't tell

Are the two naturally-colored reverse images from the same coin? Please show us larger images of the obverse in particular, in the most correct color you can manage.

Tiny pics, hard to tell much except that it has very cleaned with an brillo pad - one of the ugliest cents I've ever seen. Not really worth anything in that condition if the obverse pictures are accurate.

Appears to be a cast counterfeit. Heavily scratched to hide any uneven surfaces.
Suffering from bust half fever.

Sorry, that doesn't help. We need a cropped, straight-on MUCH LARGER pic of the obverse.

. I am no pro, but it just doesn't look right to me. I hope it is not genuine because of the very harsh cleaning it has gone through.

Here is my PCGS VF-35 straight graded one to compare:

Yours looks like it took a bit hit on cleaning. A dead giveaway is to see if you can spot a VDB on the shoulder of Lincoln's coat at the bottom left. Genuine 14-Ds do not have his initials, altered from 1944-Ds do. The date digits do indeed look thin and unnatural so I lean towards not genuine based on others responses.

All I can gather is the MM doesn't look right and or in the right position . Whether it's real or fake that coin took some brutal scrubbing .
