That means it's a copy, but more accurately it's an entirely new creation since someone took the Washington quarter design and added "One Dollar", and that 1865 date. Since it doesn't quite resemble anything the US Mint ever made, I find it very interesting--especially that "Il Duce" pose by Washington.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/10/2008 6:40 pm this is some form of fantasy piece which was made by someone besides the US mint.
