Aside from the fact that every device and legend is just "wrong" ... the first thing to look at on these early dollars is the edge. They weren't minted in a closed die. The "denticles" run right over the edge of the coin. There's no outer rim that is seperate from the dentiled edge. Once you learn a little about the early minting process ... you'll be able to spot coins like this one as fakes from 5 feet away. I'm far from an expert, but you don't need to be to spot that one.
