Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 4:15 pm IMO it's not worth counterfeiting a quarter (some do exist, though), especially one of this good quality. I think this might be on the low end of mint tolerance, then add wear, then the metal getting scratched off it from coin rolling machines lots of times. Report this Post to the Staff
