Possible, but unlikely
The marks on the reverse suggest it is an ex-jewelry coin.

Poor chooce to fake this as its not a expensive coin. Maybe the edges has been altered to fit it in a pendant or something. Hard to see on pics. I think its genuine but tooled. Possibly dipped

The 1923 S had some die issues that impacted the strike on IN, G in GOD and the 1 in the date. I agree the coin is an ex jewelry piece. If the weight is correct, it most likely is a genuine example.

Chewed up ex-jewelry but almost 100% certainty it is genuine. These are as a common as can be with little reason to counterfeit.

A legitimate bullion coin IMHO.

Peace dollars can be problematic to collect due to so many weak strikes. Nothing about this one appears fake to my eyes. Yes; just a bullion coin.
