Back in the 80's I found a couple of fake quarters and a dime somebody made of lead. Yes, I bent them with my fingers. Still have them laying around here somewhere.....

Outside of CCF the consensus is that this a very early Mark Hufman piece. Plan to send it to NNC for grading and pedigree.

Pretty much. It's not too far from the middle school reaction to the potato battery / reverse plating experiment for Zincolns, which is followed about two nanoseconds later with "Hey, this looks just like a dime now . . ."

I stand corrected.
I have two lead quarters myself.
