Counterfeit stamping of (V75) on 2020 quarters.

Hello,

I have been with the forum for a couple of years now and have a question someone might help with. Was there an issue of counterfeiting the stamping of (V75) on 2020 West Point quarters? I have a Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller park quarter with V75 stamped on it. From what I understand that this stamp should only appear on the 2020-W Saltwater Bay park quarter. I guess my question is, was counterfeiting an issue with these coins? Seams to be a waste of a nice West Point Coin! I sent the photos of the coin to an AI source that stated the coin was real, but the stamp should not be there. Please see attached photos.

Thanks,

All of the 2020-W quarters had the V 75 mark.

One must be careful with AI sources...

Here's a source for a lot of coins...

Also, just to clarify, the V75 mark is not a counterstamp - it was part of the design on the die.

However….there IS a guy stamping out the Omega symbol on 2025 cents and selling them on eBay……but he states several times they are NOT the genuine last cents and ONLY to be used as a ‘filler.’

Thankyou everyone for responding.

I learned that in the future when I have a question about coins, I have to do more than trust one source of information.

Thanks,

Is this really true? I thought that it was just some of them. I have all of 1 W quarter that I found from circulation, and it does not have the V75 mark. I don't remember what year it is though.

The 2019-W quarters did not have the privy mark. The 2020-W's did.
