Oh no.... no I didn't, I was so close!
Though I wonder who took a chainsaw, some butter, gasoline and a lit match to create that concoction!
TKC!

I'd say that's at least MS-67. Is this guy for real? |

Some unknowing fool probably offered to pay stupid money for the coin and he ended the auction early to sell to that person and now that person has no recourse unless he wises up when he receives it and pays some kind of way that he can get his money back because its a fake. I hope someone has a copy of the show from "the secrets of the US mint" and he see's how this coin was actually made before they send him some money |

Notice the straight edge on that coin. Perhaps we can learn. Imagine trying to put an improperly blanked soft metal planchet into a coining chamber. What would it look like?
Beware the damage to a mans reputation. It appears to have been done on this feed.

Perhaps you might wanna take a closer look before posting.

Lack of moral standards by the seller.

ITS NICE TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE DAMAGING COINS AND PASSING THEM OFF AS ERRORS.

I am unfamiliar with U.S. currency, so forgive my stupid questions. Is this coins a mule or not? If not, how are these coins made?  |

Snooba, it is a trick coin that can be purchased at novelty shops for about $10. The obverse of a Sacky is CNC machined off, the reeding and reverse of a quarter is machined, and then the two pieces are popped together with an almost seemless fit thanks to computer controlled machining. Only 10 authentic Sacky/quarter mules are known to exist and they are all worth mid to high five figures. http://www.fredweinberg.com/mules.htmlGenerally, when sold as a trick coin, they are made into two-headed coins with no plating on the Washington head. The tricksters will make obv/rev coins and plate them to simulate a real mule. Edited by biokemist6

Biokemist6 - thanks very much for the explanation!
I really hope no-one wastes their money on one of his auctions!
