  There is an odd attribution. It should note that the coin is off-center Draped Bust 1795 variety. And $9,000 seems like a lot of money for that coin in a "genuine" holder.
  
  There are two and three leaf Flowing Hair silver dollars. Here are the two major classification varieites:
  
  Two leaves (on the reverse)
  
  
  
  
  Three leaves

  Exactly. Two and three leave varieties refer to the Flowing Hair type, not the Draped Bust. I also thought this one was an off-centered Bust. So the question remains, is it a slab error or...?

  The coin looks genuine and the label appears to be in error.

  Thanks, Mark. I was leaning that way, I just wanted to solicit some expert opinion before doing anything...or nothing...

  Yep, just a label error. The PCGS coin # on the label is for the Flowing Hair. Regardless, the seller appears to be asking very...aggressive...money for the piece.
