From what I can see, it's a regular circulated 1973 cent and I don't think it's fake.  I cannot fathom why anyone would bother to make a fake 1973 Lincoln Cent.....they're super, super common.....3,728,245,000 were made, and they have no collector value in the grade of the coin you're showing.  Also, in 1973, the cent still had nearly no purchasing power.  According to an inflation calculator I used, what you could purchase with a penny in 1973 would cost 6 cents today.  There would be absolutely no reason to make counterfeits of this coin
