I have a strange quarter it measures 1mm larger than the normal quarter. It is slightly thicker on one edge and does not have full silver side on larger part. Now it is supposed to be a Arkansas quarter however I am skeptical of it as you can see in pics below. Can someone tell me if its real or fake please? First photo attachment removed because someone complained about its sexual theme. (While not that graphic, it does cross the line into inappropriate territory, and due to the political nature of the parody, that's double trouble.) ~Moderator
It is actually a political token. The reverse makes reference to Bill Clinton "Birthplace of Clinton", and has two persons engaged in an activity. The obverse motto is close quarters.
These are known as parody quarters. you can get them on Ebay and some coin shows. I have a collection of them. I have a total of 11, but only 5 of them are safe to show photos here. Thee others are to risqué period to show here. I am guessing that they are struck on regular real quarters.
And while we're at it: while the term "print" sounds about right, properly a coin is minted. If it were paper currency then printing would be valid.
I have one of those. It is over struck on a real state quarter. A nice novelty but numismaticly if that is a word lol. Worthless.
Yes. These are parodies created by Daniel Carr's Moonlight Mint, and I believe he made them by striking the parody design over a real quarter. Additionally, Dan Carr was the designer of the actual New York and Rhode Island statehood quarters struck by the US Mint. (But his Arkansas one here is just a joke, and in this case, a rather risqué one.) These have some modest value as novelties. Certainly more than a quarter.
wrong. not worthless... worth between $5-10 depending which ones you have. There is a market for these. they are getting harder to find too.
