I believe your coin is a fake. The stars and lettering are wrong.

It should look like:
US-Silver-Dollar-From-1795
or this

Yup. The denticles of real coins go to the edge. Your example has a beaded border away from the edge.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Wow that has to be the king of bad cast fakes - the center is usually much weaker than it should be on counterfeits but on this one it's practically non-existent.

Instead of posting the obvious fake, maybe do some homework first. These things pop up all the time, I guess every household has one to pass along to the next generation?

We should not blast this person since they came to us to get advice. Yes, it looks fake and a poor fake at that. Why produce such a sorry looking fake that even if it were real would be in very poor condition. It has a strong date and yet the Flowing Hair design is almost invisible.

This is a modern fake as collars were not used in striking coins until 1830. I think with fakes it is important whether they were contemporary and designed to fool the public, ie rackateer nickels, or a modern fake designed to fool collectors. The former may have some numismatic/historical significance. This is just a poorly done slug. I can't imagine it would fool anyone except at maybe a flea market where someone could rip off a buyer for $10.

I have to agree with the others; unfortunately it's a counterfeit.
