In my opinion intentional for sure. Even if it's not, why pay money for it, I'm not getting it. It's worthless to me, I know it takes all kinds tho. Everybody's different, it's amazing what people do when they have more money than sense.

People at the mint must get bored to do something like that and for it to make it to the population makes you wonder how considering how much the mint does to try and stop error coins from getting into the public's hand.

Yes - Chinese copies / repros/ fantasies - whatever you want to call them.
If 3D printing ever gets advanced enough to really copy something in silver etc, then that could be problematic to the hobby. I don't think we are there yet though.

My husband is a construction contractor, he says that the type of nail used there is called a "10-penny nail." Real/fake slabs with real/fake random hardware in them valued based on how closely said hardware represents coiner's intention?!? Let that market suffer its fate, please. No skin off of my back. Don't ya think, though, we should be calling into question the credibility of a TPG who will certify such an object as if it were actual currency?

Is is easy enough for any with the requisite shed skills, to make an exlosive impact die, using a coin as the source image.
There has been much specualtive interest on how this 'item' came into existence, but no verifiable proof.
