1804 Draped Bust Variety?

Yes, it looks very original!
Weight: Around 19.09 gr, my scale is showing this; not quite sure.
Diameter: 38 mm
Magnetic (not very strong)
The date is doubled and in (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA); UN and CA are doubled too.
And there is a (let say) reflection of 04 from 1804 in reverse.
Could it be a variety or fake?

Absolute bad Beijing fake

 

Obvious fake, sorry

 

"Ancient Chinese Secret Huh ?"

 

That is an extremely crude fake, I'm afraid. You'd have a better chance at being struck by lightning, attacked by a shark, and being elected president all on the same day than finding an authentic and undocumented 1804 silver dollar.

Sounds like something the faker would say

 

Oh my God.

 

Funny thing, I actually tested one of these from Vietnam for a friend at work . I used my Metal detector and the results indicated "JUNK" . True story....

 

that’s a hilarious comment

 

BTW, gr is grains, if you want grams, the abbreviation is just g

 

Thank you for the correction!

 

no prob. I remember using gm for a long time.

 

Here is an example with a "1799" date on it. It's still junk.

 

so many issues with this one, not least being the reeded edge.

 

Mrs. Liberty does not look overly happy to see that the eagle was replaced by a chicken.

 

what kind is the very first issue's edge? I did not find it.

 

Me Chinese me play joke me make fake 1804 $1

 

But from a completely different die/mold.

 

Yes, I have a picture of that “1804” somewhere, but I could not locate it.
