Wow, Ha Images On The Right- 1795 OC Draped Bust Dollar.

Yes, the font differences of the counterfeit on the left compared to the genuine example on the right is one key. But, the slab is decent and the barcode scans correctly. Fortunately the on-line cert, which of course has no image does have a past auction listed and link to the Heritage one, so images to compare to.

For anyone who has read mine or other's articles on these, the "bite marks" on the throat of the "Vampire Counterfeits" are diagnostic of the fakes; the counterfeiters have made "coins" using this design from 1795 through 1799, but the 1795 is obviously the most deceptive since it was taken from a genuine host example.



This counterfeit can be seen in my unpinned post in PCGS's CU Forum on known counterfeit PCGS holders.
