1911 D Carved Date Silver Washington Quarter

Quote:
Thank you all for your kind comments.
Yes, USSID18. It was a 1944 D Washington.

This cannot be an altered date fake.
Why?
As everybody already knows, Washington quarters were never made in 1911.

Probably best termed as a shed job fantasy.


Sometimes, there is a fine, but rather gray line between fake and fantasy.
Chinese origin fake coins are often concocted in such a way so as to skirt a way around the Law, with impossible fake date and / or mm combinations for type. I just accept, and then turn my back on such coins, as being part of our numismatic scenery.

Same happens with classic cars, stamp collecting, gemstome collecting or whatever.
Problems can arise, however when people try to sell such products as legitimate, and that is where the Law needs to be strong enough to protect buyers.

I maintain a collection of fake coins, primarily for my own education.

"Education is the key to collector success!"
