Looks fake to me but I have absolutely zero idea or knowledge about this coin.
I couldn't even find it in the Numista catalogue.

It has all the characteristics of a coin obtained by casting:
Irregular field, porosity and poorly defined outline on letters, numbers, and remaining elements.
95% probabilities to be a fake and I would never buy it.

I have seen a few counterfeit US coins that appear much as this one. It is common for them to be made of lead. You might want to handle it with care.

Weighs too much, a bit less wide, NON-EXISTANT DATE.

Could be a fake the weight of the real thing should be 26.96 grams and the size should be 39 to 40 mm. The number 3 in the date is wrong for an 1803 large 3. The weight is the best indicator if the coin is worn it should weight slightly under 26.96 grams not over check your scale for accuracy and if it is still a gram over it is a fake.
