1/2 dollar 1830 that I would like to know if it is authentic.

Hello, here is a 1/2 dollar 1830 that I would like to know if it is authentic.
Weight: 13.45g

Without looking closely, it was an obvious fake I am afraid.  The font of the numbers is a good place to start to compare.  They are extremely off.  I didn't continue looking for more after those.

Without looking closely, it was an obvious fake I am afraid.  The font of the numbers is a good place to start to compare.  They are extremely off.  I didn't continue looking for more after those.

I'm not seeing the font being that much off:

If it were to be real, it for sure would have to be the small letter variety since the top of the 5 is so short.  But the downward angle of the top of the 5 looks off to me.  It should be flatter in my opinion.  I also think it is quite abnormal for the right side of the 0 to be wider than the left.  It is the other way around in any legitimate 1830 I can find.  Perhaps it's possible that only one side of the 0 was flattened from wear though. Then even the C looks more like a C from the large letter variety, which is not consistent.  Also the dot looks like it is in between two denticles rather than lined up in the middle of one. 

I'm aware consistency of the minting process in 1830 is not exemplary, and maybe I am holding it to too high a standard, but just starting at the 50 C., it just looks like too many different things are off from both varieties for it to be either, unless this is some new one that has a combination of both varieties.  Possible of course, but seems unlikely in my opinion.

I think it's real, it appears to be an Overton-114:

I see problems. I  do not like the color on the reverse. The smokey grey resembles many fakes, but not many real coins.

Relief of the reverse side figures is very high. very high indeed. like AU. 

Reverse side is not worn the same depth as the obverse.

On the obverse we see edge denticles almost gone like G/VG amount of wear, yet at the center of the image, LIBERTY is not even lightly worn.

this suggests artificial attempts to wear and age the piece, but not applied uniformly, not in ways that actual circulation tends to apply wear.

Obverse also has wire brush marks. I am probobly wrong, but I do not like it.

Unlike most US coins, LIBERTY does not seem to wear much.  This one is graded by PCGS as VG08:
