<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1689322, member: 66&quot;]As I pointed out on another forum where you asked the same question the draped bust is a fake made from what I call the Vampire hub.&nbsp; the counterfeiters made an undated hub, probably from a genuine coin, that has those two &quot;fang puncture marks&quot; on the neck.&nbsp; then they made&nbsp; a bunch of dies from this hub and individually dated them with different dates.&nbsp; I have seen every date from 1795 to 1804 made using this same hub.&nbsp; There are other diagnostic features on this hub as well.&nbsp; A few of them are pointed out by igradeMS70, and they DO occur on a genuine 1795 die variety.&nbsp; But when you see those same features,and the vampire marks on coins dated 1796, 1797, 1798 etc you know those are fakes, so one dated 1795 with those die variety features but ALSO with the vampire marks then it is almost certainly fake as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
