ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 6:20 pm I recently purchased this 2003 Maine Quarter from my LCS. It appears to have a Roosevelt dime struck into it, however, I don't believe this is an authentic error. Am I right? Is this a fantasy piece or am I holding a neat error coin? Thanks!

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 6:36 pm The business at your LCS must be really down if he is forced to make his own so called ERROR coins this piece is man made and fake, it was done by hammering a Dime onto both front and back of it, take it back and get your money refunded, you were ripped off, unless he told you it wasn't authentic, which I doubt. Quote: The dealer didn't know what to say about it I highly doubt that, any coin dealer would know what this is!! Edited by Chase007 10/05/2018 6:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 6:48 pm Well, I'm okay with it being fake. We both assumed it wasn't real and I only paid 2 bucks. It's a neat piece to have anyway. Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff
