<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hamhawk, post: 1298333, member: 31158&quot;]Rascal:&nbsp; Thanks for the heads up on the fake dies.&nbsp; I managed to avoid breaking any fingers this weekend.&nbsp; My quarter didn&#039;t turn out.&nbsp; I did however keep researching what could have caused this.&nbsp; My knowledge of the minting process is limited, so while I did learn some stuff, I found I was running around in circles.&nbsp; I got to a point where I didn&#039;t feel like reading any more, so continuing my what the heck approach i went to YouTube and searched &quot;quarter, hammer&quot;. I found this video...&nbsp; If you watch about 55 seconds in the coin shows similar damage.&nbsp; I think with a little practice and a special jig, this coin could be duplicated.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if this one is.&nbsp; I think the diameter and thickness would be a giveaway would be important factors, as this process clearly changes them.</p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOWkwUqzqPk&amp;feature=youtube_gdata_player" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOWkwUqzqPk&amp;feature=youtube_gdata_player" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOWkwUqzqPk&amp;feature=youtube_gdata_player</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
