okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 03/21/2024 09:18 am The metal looks so soft (with all the marks) that it looks like lead or some other very soft metal. It didn't come from the Mint, unless some kind of trial piece, either here in Canada or one of the fake-making countries. Edited by okiecoiner 03/21/2024 11:59 am Report this Post to the Staff

XWLCoins Valued Member Canada 320 Posts	Posted 03/21/2024 3:08 pm Yea it does seem soft. I was guessing lead too especially since it's weighing in heavy and it's non magnetic... Is there any chance that this was done at the mint? Were there any foreign coins that would be made of lead in 69 maybe? It just seems odd for someone to go through the effort to counterfeit a quarter Report this Post to the Staff
