Original Barber Quarter Coin Casting?

ohiogoke

I am taking a look at, what the seller is claiming to be an original 1903 barber quarter coin casting. I have not seen the item yet. What should I look for to make sure it is real? How much do you guys think something like this is worth. If I get it, will post pics. Thanks in advance.

Sounds possibly like a set of counterfeiting molds.

The US mint has never used any type of castings for production of their coinage. Only Galvanos may have been copied by casting but that's it. What you are being offered is a post mint product and most likely worthless, anyone can make a thousand castings from any coin. Have the seller send you pics and post them here.

Has the coin hobby come to the "casting couch"? I never thought that Barber coins would be considered sexy enough or popular enough to lure the unsuspecting public into a chance to make it big in the 1901-S quarter market.

We've endured 4th rate slabbers who will, for a fee, certify someone as an ethical grader, and have endured lots of eBay auctions for fake Draped Bust coins. Who calls this "coin casting" original? Is this a limited edition available for a fee or available only to those who qualify for enough bust type coins? <g>
