    I know this is a reproduction of a draped bust coin silver round, but I can't find it anywhere and have no idea what year it was minted. Also, would this 8 point star make it an error, even if it is just a reproduction? Thanks

    It just makes it poorly crafted.

    It looks like they were trying to reproduce what is commonly referred to as a "recut star", which are seen often on genuine Bust halves of this era.

    It adds no value to this valueless counterfeit.

    It's a privately minted silver round. It's only worth melt value. Even with the "error".

    nothing special
    Just a silver round.

    It's not an error since most private mints can produce any "error" they want at any time. And most aren't held to the quality of the US Mint.

    Most privately minted silver rounds do not have any readily accesible records. The piece was no doubt made this way intentionally and the reverse is particularly aesthetically challenged.

    "Counterfeit"? Of what, a design knock-off round?

    Did you see the pictures? I mean, more than just a quick glance?

    i have about 7 or 8 of these coins, with the same "defective" star on each.

    They aren't coins. If silver, they are bullion rounds.
