@pshann,



Quote:
Dollars of this year either have ten stars on the left on the obverse (front of the coin) and six stars on the right (10 by 6), or nine stars on the left and seven on the right (9 by 7). It is easy to tell these apart. A collector need not engage in research to determine which 1797 dollars are 'Ten by Six' and which are 'Nine by Seven.' A 1797 dollar has ten stars to the left of the letters of 'LIBERTY' or it has nine to the left.

I maintain that there are more fake early (pre-Morgan) dollars out there than real ones.
