To me, it looks like someone just smashed a quarter on another. Nothing makes sense. But I'm not familiar with dbl struck coins other than the basics, so I'm looking for opinions

I am not too accustomed to these coins but I am not entirely sure what to call it. If looks like it would be a mirrored brockage if anything. But I am not entirely sure, let's wait for the experts

Agreed, it looks off, what I mentioned is best case scenario :)
I also believe that it is fake

hmmm

some pretty heavy pressure used for the "second strike" (more than I would expect from a hammer or vise job) - it obliterated the original devices.

BUT, the beads remained untouched?

It didn't obliterate the original devices as much as an actual strike would IMO. To also get the caribou + queen and the community + some other design isn't really possible, is it?

Thanks for the replies guys! hopefully no one gets fooled at $600

Not sure if there's much I can do other than talk to the seller (whom I'm guessing knows exactly what this coin is)
