<p>[QUOTE="VistaCruiser69, post: 3720955, member: 107016"]I saw a video on youtube recently which showed how these two headed coins are made. It took the guy literally an hour or two of labor getting this accomplished. Two quarters get destroyed (.50) an hour or more in labor, and it takes special machining equipment. Seems like a lot of work to me just to make a fake quarter. With determination like that, you'd think they'd do a little something a bit more rewarding like building a house. Anyways...</p><p> </p><p>Here's another quarter that I ran across in my pocket change recently. It's definitely an example of extreme PMD. What trips me out, and thus why I'm holding onto it, it's the same diameter of other regular quarters and it's thickness is basically uniform at all edges. I would think it being crushed/compacted as it is, it wouldn't be perfectly round with the same diameter as a regular quarter. It's perfectly round as a normal quarter and its the same thickness all the way around the edges. It must have taken some serious tonnage to accomplish this. Poor bicentennial quarter...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
