ajpl677 New Member United Kingdom 21 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 5:10 pm Thanks all. Thought it was. But as I am still new to this I decided to ask. Learning more and more every day. Great forum. Andy Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 5:11 pm I wouldn't even regard this 'coin' as a fake. More like a 'fantasy', there is no intention to deceive, without the word LIBERTY Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 5:16 pm Can't imagine it would be anyone's "fantasy" to have a Draped Bust dollar without the LIBERTY! More likely a test strike from an intermediate stage in the preparation of a counterfeit die. Report this Post to the Staff
ajpl677 New Member United Kingdom 21 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 5:24 pm Its on ebay at the moment. Described as a silver $1 sized coin, 1799, with signs of wear. Number 200870272629 Report this Post to the Staff

jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 8:30 pm Hmmmm... wonder if there's a market for fake coins with errors? Report this Post to the Staff
jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 8:31 pm Sure sign it's fake: they didn't have push-up bras back then. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 9:27 pm That's a common finding for the connoisseurs of counterfeit bust dollars; for some reason, Liberty often seems very generously-endowed in the rendering. Report this Post to the Staff
