Another fake discovered in junk 90% silver, but this one's easy to spot

Face 1948 quarter struck off of hand-cut dies (sorry for the bad pics - belongs to a business associate):

That one is so bad it's good. It's probably worth something as a collector's item.

 

It looks like the crook clased the dies too, which adds to the fun.

Already spoken for - at a pretty hefty price tag. I myself made an offer on it but wasn't able to land this one.

I figured as much, I knew it wouldn't be cheap.

That's horrible! And yet, SOOO cool!

 

[AHFreak]

Are you sure that's fake? I see the die clash which tells me it's probaby..... JUST KIDDING. That's a mess right there .

[James_OldeTowne]

Incidentally, the dies are rotated 180 degrees (in medallic alignment).

[BillJones]

Actually it's a new variety ... the Pin Head Eagle.

On ebay that would be called a "Rare, unique Pattern Coin Only one known from the Denver Mint. Starting Bid $100,000"
