Most probably it is a "Boston" type bullion issue of the 1870-1920 era. The edge is typical of those. But the coin exhibits only the edge variation and the dies show none of the other typical traces.
The coin should be the correct SG if made EARLY in the series but could be slightly low if made after 1900.
These are normally traded as REAL. Most dealers and collectors do not distinguish between originals and forgeries of this type UNLESS there is a serious error like a non-existent date or assayer.
