Unless it's a rare VAM, no.

Please post a photo of the reverse, and can you get an accurate weight?

Doesn't look right to me either. Too pristine, especially the fields and cheek plus the luster doesn't look normal. I suspect a fake as well. Better closeups of both obverse and reverse needed along with accurate weight and diameter.

I don't like the look of the rim. Something does seem off.

tough call with this photo but my first thought as soon as I saw it was counterfeit but I can't find anything wrong with it except the overall look of the coin. this could be from the lighting or could be from dipping as well. the surfaces just look dull which is indicative of that occurring. due to the lighting the entire bottom half of the coin here is in shadow adding to the dull overall look

in order to give a better assessment of this coin we need larger, cropped photos, watch your light to avoid as much glare as you can and try to eliminate the shadowing. I also suggest a weight just to verify it.
