This has to be the worst cast counterfeit half I have ever seen. But there it is. Coin is bent if it looks a little off in the photos.

I've never cast a coin but always wondered exactly what they look like coming out. Maybe like this? Then some post-processing needed to smooth things down and make it look a bit better. This one is so rough it feels like sandpaper when you run a finger across the middle of it.
