This is a coin that my neighbor had found Going through his mothers estate he asked me to see if it was a rear coin because there seem to be no rim. To me it doesn’t look right I’m not really sure that this coin is original I think it’s possible that it could be counterfeit and not a rare coin. what are your ideas ,thanks
I believe it to be genuine. Just exposed to something caustic that ate away at the copper and pitted the surfaces. Could be wrong. Await more opinions.
Damage and it looks real to me, think this,why would someone counterfeit a common coin when it would cost more than the actual coin is worth-25 centsit wouldn't make any cents.
Corroded like crazy by something, but real. Besides, who in the world would want to make a fake '67 Washington?
Drop it on a hard surface and see how it sounds... compare sound to a known real quarter. Real quarters will have a "ring" when they hit the aurface... counterfeits will often go "klunk". I got a fake 1960s-vintage quarter (cast pot metal) in change at a traveling carnival in 1973... at one time, they were not all that uncommon. The carnies would pass hundreds of them each day in change... it adds up to real money over time, with relatively low risk for getting caught.
