This is dumb. I didn't find a real coin that even resembles this fake. If you guys know, help me. Thanks in advance!    |

Maybe for kids play set like a grocery store? I've seen those back in the day, with cash registers, a bunch of fake food, and a large cardboard store front to set up. These are a little outrageous (at $10-15K) but same idea. https://www.lilliputplayhomes.com/p...main-street/"Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

There are a lot of fantasy coins made, presumably in China. I suppose that they are not technically counterfeits since they do not resemble any real coin.
I can only conclude that whoever makes them doesn't care that don't look like a real coin, since they can find a sucker for whatever they churn out.

It looks like a poorly done fantasy coin. Maybe from a toy company, as noted, and not intended to be sold as an error or counterfeit. westcoin said... Quote:

If I paid $1999 for this, I would want more than a few beeps, I would expect it to walk, dance and make me lunch each day! Wouldn't a trip to a real market be a better lesson for the kids? It sure would be a whole lot cheaper! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Wow I can't get over the prices the sellers want on them. I wouldn't want one for even a dollar. To each their own I suppose.  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
