@Pennydreamer, not sure why you think this was broadstruck. What is the diameter of the coin? If milled properly, the weight of a Magicians coin doesn't have to be much lower, and there's no reason it couldn't have a reeded edge. I also think it was manufactured like a Magicians coin. No one is hating here, we're just giving our opinion based on your pics. |

So the theory is that someone made a Magician's coin to fake a 1949-s, and then put it into circulation instead of selling it as an ultra-rare variety? That would definitely make an interesting tale. |

This post contains the holy trinity of immediate skepticism for me: 1. Unclear/not descriptive post title. PlEASE give your posts descriptive titles, both so we can quickly summarize what you want us to look at, and also so people can actually find your post if they have similar questions in the future. 2. Blurry photos 3. Misuse of basic coin terminology (like calling coins "printed," which is not how coins ate made) I agree with the people who say probably a Magician's coin. |

to the CCF There is no such thing as a 49 D over S. There's a 50D over S. This is just an S mm. You're telling us that it is just been discovered after 70 years. If it was a real coin with a very readable S mm, I would guess it would have been found the year it was minted. Read Zurie's post. As far as making it and selling it. There would be too much publicity about it for the manufacturer. They would be charged with counterfeiting for profit. Clearly a Magicians coin. The reverse has been hollowed out, and the insert glued in. A good Magicians coin would weigh near the original. As stated above, send it in. Remember to come back here and tell us how wrong we were. |

This post made me to answer after 12 days of an heavy Man Flu.
The OP intentionally post blurry photos with an big nonsense explanation. I can analyze:
This it is Type A quarter, with added MM. Those fake coins was find and strange still come some out. The design of the MM it is decades after the coin was strike.
By the OP narrative I think him just want to fish in order to be covered against the Legal Tender Fake.
PS: It is not a magician coin.

@sil, you will notice that I have lightly edited your reply to be more family friendly. Some of the issue might be that you are writing in not your first language, but please remember to keep out coarse language. Thx.

I see the seam along the rim on the reverse photo.

The REV pic shows an obvious seam around the inside of the rim. Magician's coin. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash? Download and read: Grading the graders Costly TPG ineptitude and No FG Kennedy halveshttps://ln5.sync.com/dl/7ca91bdd0/w...i3b-rbj9fir2 |

@ Spence: Thanks, but I use the word as "an expression of disappointment" or lack of consistency and logic in the narrative. Far from me to use as coarse language. I just let the OP to know that the explanation disappointed me. I am persuaded that the OP will read again and analyze and understand that when wrote mixt his own ideas.
For me the coin was more important then the terminology. And as I mention before, this it is not magician coin, it is an attempt to made an big variety. The Silver magician coins are the most easy to see coins.

Silvio, I hate to disagree with you but this is 100% a Magicians coin. You can see the seam all around the reverse. You say the MM is decades after the strike. That's probably true. Can you compare a whole 1949 reverse to one decades after the strike? My point is, that if they took a 1964 reverse and matted it with a 1949 obverse, the MM would be for the wrong year. Glad you're feeling better. Edited by Cujohn

@silvio I'm not sure what you're talking about. This is 100% a Magician's coin, John is right. |
