I found these error coins. Was wondering if anyone on Tnet had any ideas about them. The smooth one is to nice to have been sanded and polished i think it was only half stamped. The other was over stamped i think. Any ideas?
Rounded or flat? Im confused. Haha. It looks like it was pressed to hard and its all completely indented to far. Perfectly round all the way around the coin
Its unfortunately just wear. When a coin is in heat and a constant and quick rotation they wear just like this. I bought quarters from laundromats in the past and always got to grab the 'dryer coins'and they are exactly the same. PMD.
The quarter in the first pic looks like it could be a magician's coin. Does it have a seam anywhere on the edge, like it would open up and hold a dime or penny inside of it ? Just a thought. I have found Half Dollar magician's coins before, that had edges like your quarter.
I believe Trezurehunter has it correct. The quarter appears to be a coin shell. Drop the coin a listen to the sound, if its a dull it's a magician's shell coin. They can be separated by banging on a solid surface. The the other side is probably a copper coin and used for a trick called copper/silver...a very cool and convincing coin routine.
