Looks genuine to me, could be a ground find or fire damaged.
Fairly good details on the coin tho.
It is pretty ugly but:angel:

It might just be all the corrosion which is making the date look that way. To me the 5 is too big and the 9 and second 1 too think but it might be because of damage and not a forgery.
