This dollar has enough brown stuff on it to qualify as enviro damage, I think, and someone removed some of it from the obverse, although without...
The coin in the OP is a pretty good fake to my eyes. The most obvious problem I see is the poorly formed edge reeding. I don't see any problems...

With the 1795 draped bust dollars, there are 2 kinds: off center bust, or centered bust. This one is B15 (centered bust), or BB52 depending on...
