Overseas eBay sites have had a bad rash of counterfeit US Draped Bust and Seated Liberty Dollars. The price is always way too cheap for a genuine coin. Most of these counterfeits are crude casts and you can tell
from their grainy surfaces and the off-color. Sometimes these fakes will
have an impossible date, like an 1836 Bust Dollar. Bust Dollars stopped in
1804! Beware as these sites are policed by the eBay staff in their overseas country, not the US eBay police, so unfortunately there are all too many available for sale. If in doubt, check the coin photos against similar type coins on eBay USA and compare.
