It's always nice to have Mike Diamond weigh in, but this seems very clearly to be a manufactured error rather than than a legit rotated die.

I will simply boil this coin or heat at 120 deg. must melt the molding alloy. Sure if you has time to play with. I think it is another kind of magicians coins. Not worth to work so much for this coin as error.

Thanks for all the great comments on this one! But yes, it is a fake, so just reminding others to think about such things when buying purported error coins. And I collect the counterfeits so never try to acetone or boil them to prove they are fake. I like to keep them as someone made them.

OK TROP, I will have to look at one point for my fake coins to send you. Use less for me.

I'll be happy to take them off your hands. I agree they are useless, but I really enjoy looking at the effort folks put into making them.
