This dollar has 10 stars on the left. I thought genuine 1797 dollars had only 9 stars.

What's the story?

and if this '10' star 1797 dollar is a phony, how can someone on Ebay be so stupid and pay $3300 dollars for it image

    There is a 10x6 variety. But that does not mean that the coin is genuine. A few weeks ago while perusing the public PCGS grading results I found one that had three 1804 dollars along with two other fake bust dollars. You'd think someone would be able to figure that an 1804 is not going to be real.

    There is a 10 star on the left variety. In fact, it's the most common one. But, that one looks fake to me.
