Don't bid on this one. Does anyone see what's wrong?

    Edge dentils look like a coin from a later year? Date too low relative to bust?

    That and this statement raised a red flag: "1796 draped bust silver coin not certain of legitimacy but I'm selling it as is! Please don't bud if you don't intend to purchase".

    Since I'm not a tree anyway, I don't intend to bud....

    The dentils are what jump out the most to me...they just aren't right...should be much longer. Wish I had a real one to compare it to instead of just pictures!
