The style is actually right on for the type.  A quick search yielded dozens of examples with the same style, and some being a possible obverse die match to this coin.  I would like to hear why some think it is a fake, or why they are so quick to deem it one.  The weight is also right in line with other authentic examples.

I do not like how the bristles are made and a cut eye in Perseus. Where have you seen a proper stubble going on around her throat? And the eagle live separately from the coin... Details of the coin unclear in the high points of the relief. Does not smell ancient coin, shorter. ::)
