Looks fake. The lettering on the back and the lack of detail on the eagle is wrong.

I'm afraid this one is a fake - the details aren't even remotely close to an actual example, either obverse or reverse. Here's what a real one looks like:   Images shamelessly ripped from Heritage Auctions, ha.com |

 I agree with the others- fake. But I will not 'shamelessly' rip photos!  That is a good suggestion from SuperDave. You can join Heritage for free and search their archives of previous sales. This is a quite helpful tool. I use it all the time to check for counterfeits, get current valuations. |

 Heritage is a great resource for comparing details of coins  Btw, the coin in the OP's post appears to be an Australian crown--a copy too perhaps? The details on the portrait look a bit weak.  Edited by DVCollector

I think you be right SuperDave.
It was a flowing hair.

I never saw the OP pictures before he overwrote them, but in his title he called it a draped bust.

I see an Australian Crown dated 1937? What gives, I thought this was supposed to be a Draped Bust 1795?
Maybe I've been hacked?
success,

I can definitively state that the coin shown by the OP is not an authentic 1795 US dollar.
