rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 10/03/2015 1:06 pm If this is fake I have NO IDEA how it's done. I've looked the coin over w/a loupe and find no evidence of tampering with the planchet. I also have a short video clip of me turning the coin over in my fingers if it will help. If this is a common fake I'll bet someone will say so pronto! My little vid... hyf94I_aNXc Edited by rynegold 10/03/2015 1:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

A good machinist Will use a lathe and go on the inside of the rim to remove the reverse of the quarter and then cut down another reverse to sizable to squeeze into there. Look closely on the inside of the rim on whichever side I'm trying to see if you can notice the difference also try a drop test to see if it sounds different than a regular quarter Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/03/2015 2:13 pm A fun find! I found a double obverse quarter a couple of years ago. The mint marks didn't match! I kept it. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 10/03/2015 9:26 pm See if you can get it apart. Might be something inside it. No idea on how to get it open. Throw it hard against the floor? Edited by CoinHuntingDrew 10/03/2015 9:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 08:25 am Put it in a small wood box or glass jar and shake it around. This should cause the 2 pieces to split. I recently found a kennedy that I almost put into a roll but as I was inserting it I noticed that it sounded hollow when it was rubbing against another real one. Low and behold it has a Mexican peso eagle reverse attached to the other side of the kennedy reverse so it could be flipped to either show the regular rev or the peso rev... It ALMOST got rolled and sent to the bank if I hadn't heard that sound. That's how good they can be Report this Post to the Staff

BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 12:29 pm Lets us not forget that there are two legitimate reveres on reverse clad quarters. www.error-ref.com/two-tailed-quarter/ If the coin weighs right on the supposed weight (5.67 grams), then think about sending it to an expert for their opinion.
