Are there any genuine silver dollars with the face facing backwards?

True silver dollars were minted from 1794 to 1935. Dollars from 1794 - 1804 all have heads facing to the right as you look at the coin. Dollars dated after that have heads facing to the left. For a head to face contrary to this pattern would mean that it's counterfeit. The way a coin is designed and struck by the mint would preclude a genuine dollar with the head facing backwards. So the answer is no.
