    Is this 1798 Draped Bust Dollar authentic?

    I'm not too familiar with early US coins as far as varieties are concerned.

    The reverse is different from what I've seen and the date seems to pop out a lot.

    Thanks in advance!

    I am not an expert in this series, but considering its condition, and how highly struck it is when these coins were not struck my machines I would say no. If it was you are looking at 6 figures

    Not authentic. There is only one variety of 7x6 Stars, Small Eagle 1798 Dollar, and this isn't it.

    Yeah I think it's fake.

    I can't find the variety and I get a hunch that it's no good.

    Thanks for the replies!

    Here's an internet pic of a real one - you can compare and see the differences.

    Yeah, definitely fake. The letters don't line up. Blobby letters and devices are seen. Thanks all!
