Hello! I posted this coin it my own thread, but now have a question for everyone.
Folks saying it's contemporary counterfeit. I tried too google them, but didn't find anything similar (i think cause is my mediocre english).
What value this coins has?

It does look to be fake. Here is a real one to compare with https://www.ebay.com/itm/1914-S-Bar...quarter.TRS0

It's definitely a counterfeit, but whether it is contemporary or a modern fake I don't know for 100% certain. I am doing research on it.

Just a very poor counterfeit.

Here is a picture of an actual lead cast contemporary.

After some time examining the images and doing some research, it looks like this is an extremely poor modern counterfeit. I was incorrect in my post in the other thread.

I've seen a number of contemporary counterfeits, cast pot metal, like the one posted by JimmyD.

I agree with SilverDollar2017 .... Modern or possibly mid 20th century fake; possibly play money.

Doesn't look like a contemporary, looks like a modern and not a recent modern.

Seems like a lot of effort for such a poor result.

The Barber Coin Collectors' Society has a page of contemporary counterfeit images on their website http://barbercoins.org/CCounterfeits.shtml


I'm in agreement that the coin in question isn't a contemporary counterfeit. As to when or where it was made I have no idea.
