Ever try to make your own "error" coin?

Petescorner

Not to try to profit from, but just to see how close to an authentic error you could actually come, on your own.

I taped a penny and dime together with a piece of scotch tape and beat it 10 times with a hammer. All I got out of it was two crooked coins - not even the least bit of image transferring (yeah, I know it would have been reveresed even if it had worked.) It wasn't even worth posting a picture of.

So, have you ever tried to make your own "error" coin? Any success? Baked? Glued? Machined? Run over by Amtrak? Others?

Smashed some with a sledgehammer to get some brocks. Clearly fake because they didn't spread and deform enough.
Made some fake clips. Clearly fake because they didn't Blakesley and looking inside the clip you didn't see the flip-flop of clad layers from the metal drag caused by the cookie cutter.
Listed them on eBay & Yahoo as fakes with $1,000 reserve describing the diagnostics because some cracker head was selling the same fakes as genuine and other cracker heads were buying them for lots of $$.

would it be an error to piss on a quarter?
