Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 01/12/2023 03:00 am Because it's not a quarter. Or any other government-issued legal tender coin. US law requires "COPY be stamped on replica coins made or sold in the US, and the law extends to anything that might reasonably be confused with a coin. I believe they were sold by National Collectors Mint, which mass-markets pseudo-coins like this. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

That would be the same as the ones being sold on ebay. Here, for example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144668167765 Stealing the pic, for future usefulness of the thread: To be fair to the OP, overall it is very state-quarter-like in design; the resultant confusion was presumably the intent.

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 01/13/2023 7:44 pm I think now that we've seen the overly complicated, vapid, and insipid designs that are the hallmark of the 50SQ series, there's much less chance of confusion. But if you were riffing off the series early on, before the law changed to allow 2009 coins... -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
