Hey guys, I need help with determining if this is a fake or not. Sounds and feels like silver, has nice weight definitely doesn't seem or feel fake but I noticed a strange detail in the year. Its an 1824/2 quarter but if you look closely on the "2" it resembles that of the 2 from the half dollars and dimes. The 25c pieces have swirly 2;s. Any help would be much appreciated would like to save the money on getting it graded and comes out fake thanks.  |

I don't see any documented 4 over 2 varieties with the knob on the 2. They are all swirled and pointing up.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Well,rats. The 2 gives it away but it's awfully good otherwise.

A fake, which was purchased (probably recently) on the site that shall remain unnamed. The coin here is identical to the ones being sold there. Oh. And Welcome, by the way!  Edited by ErrorCoins222

I would like to have a photo of the reverse to put in my counterfeit file. I speak to local clubs about this issue now and then.
It is a decent looking fack. The crooks (probably Chinese) picked out a date of which there is only one known die variety, so that made detecting it easier.
