<p>[QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 1785085, member: 56793"]Hello everyone, especially experts. I just received a couple of fake quarters. The Washington Quarter is fake for obvious reasons, weight <b>6.79g</b>, diameter <b>24mm</b>, colour, detail, evidence of being <b>poured</b>, etc. The Seated Liberty Quarter was purchased as fake, but, I would like to get some help with the solid reasons as to why it is a fake. Thickness does not look off, diameter <b>24mm</b>, considering it is worn, pitted, chunks missing, edge filed and so on, the weight of <b>6.08g</b> does not surprise me. I have warmed it up in my hand, touched it to ice and it cools of almost instantly. Took it away from the ice, warms up in my hand almost instantly. Seems to have that silver ping sound. Is the porosity and pitting, enough to determine that it is a fake? Anyone see something more?</p><p> </p><p>Scans attached for your consideration.
