I have a 1803 draped bust silver dollar. It has a reeded edge. Is it counterfeit?

Almost certainly, unless some miscreant added reeding at some point after it was minted. These had a lettered edge, not reeding.

SsuperDdave's right, but a photo would still be interesting and enlightening. Welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately, a reeded edge on a Draped Bust Dollar is usually a bad sign when trying to determine its authenticity...
