  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....

  Yeah, looks like it's a two-headed coin.

  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!

  The most positive thing is that 4 of the last 5 buyers did get refunds.
