It does look like an over-strike of a real quarter to me.

Is it even possible to "re-mint" just one side of a coin?
See the Scott restrike CSA half dollars. 1861-O halves with the rev planed off and then restruck using the CSA die while the obv rested on a brass plate. |

The only mass produced counterfeit quarters I am aware of are 1982 D dated specimens that circulated in the late 1990's to early 2000's around the new york/new jersey area. I found a couple of them stuck to magnets back when TD Bank still had coin machines. Virtually all of them have been removed from circulation due to the magnets in coin counting machines, but every now and again a couple return to circulation when someone spends change they've horded for years.

The edge looks a bit odd. It might be a cap placed onto a real quarter as the reverse is from a pre 1999 coin and the obverse looks to be based on a 1999 and later quarter. I don't think it is an oversrtike in the same manner as Moonlight mint products.

Yes. These are 2 piece caps like magician coins. I've heard they're circulating but I haven't seen one and your think I'm California theyd be big. If I find one I'll put it on the bst here  |

I kind of doubt it being a Magicians coin, only because you'd think that who is producing these probably would be smart to some extent, and make it so that they'd take obviously authentic quarters, and then sand down the obverse, and then stamp them like such. Seems a lot easier if you are going to mass produce these. |

You wouldn't sand down the obv, you would windup grinding through to the copper layer in spots. You just overstrike the existing design.
