#1 Unread post by txtcobra »

I have a 1798 draped bust dollar in my collection and the reserve side is off center. Is this common? Is this a fake?

That looks like to be a Fake 1798 Silver Dollar . . . The date style does not match with the real ones.

Very obvious fake. Find pics of legit slabbed ones online and look at them side by side.
