Draped Bust Dollar - Real or Fake?

C0inCollect0r

Hi folks,

This Bust Dollar has clearly been messed with (cleaned, plugged, scratched, etc) but I wanted your opinions on whether you think it is in fact genuine:

It is from ebay:

Thanks for your time and opinions.

Well, the seller pretty much lays it on the line.



Buyer decides and bids accordingly.



Nothing wrong with this listing, in my opinion.

Looks real to me, It would be nice to see the edge however. The S and the 9 are obviously fake.

Wow. What a train wreck. Throw in rim damage, graffiti, tooling on top of cleaned, plugged and scratched. Looks genuine, though. BB-166.

Looks genuine to me too. The "9" in the date and the "S" in States have been tooled

A perfect example of a coin with ALOT of problems!

Surprisingly, I think it's genuine.

Genuine yet wow- just as the seller stated.

May have gone for a bit too much, yet a neat coin for what it is (and, for what it isn't).

Probably genuine and mutilated as the seller described.

Not sure what you're asking. Those die lines are common to the die marriage. But I'm hardly an expert.

Real in my opinion.

A lot of meat on that coin, considering what it sold for. Lots of issues, sure, but nice detail in spite of all that.

more or less, that is what i figured but wondered if anyone could confirm. i have no reason at this point to say it isnt authentic.

It has major problems, to be sure, but at $500, a coin that someone who cannot afford a $1000 coin can afford. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
