Say a situation occurring wherein a person who bought your 1975 quarter for instance happens to drop it some place by accident. Then say a "layperson" finds it, picks it up, thinks they've found a genuine quarter. That's likely what a reasonable person would conclude based off simply looking at it. Then say they happen spend it in a vending machine or a store shortly after. You may not have ever had any intent of facilitating fraud when striking your offerings, but if that situation occurred you would have unintentionally done so. That is unless of course you think your overstrikes are still legal tender and your authorized to strike coinage for the United States of America.
