Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 05/07/2014 12:07 pm Welcome to the community! Unfortunately, your coin is a fake. And a terrible fake at that. It is a counterfeit Draped Bust dollar, which is among the most highly counterfeited coins of the US. Look up photos of a genuine example, and you will notice many differences between this fake and the genuine ones. Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/07/2014 3:28 pm Certainly not the real deral. It's interesting, though, for the very obvious doubling of devices on the reverse. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

If it was real, this coin would be made of silver and silver does not look like that. If it were real, this coin would be worth about $2,000. Sorry about the bad news. Report this Post to the Staff
