Quote: jokinen What do you think?I would say 20 cents, but maybe there is a collector of fakes who wants it?

A fake is worth scrap value unless some collector wants it. Would never consider spending a fake for face value knowing it is one.

My thought also. The counterfeiter must not be the sharpest person around.

Perhaps they're practicing on lower value coins before going on to higher value ones

I don't know why they would be I don't think it could be a mint error. I mean it's a poor Brandenburger Tor but the colour is still different. And the 1 gram difference between this coin and all my 20 ct coins.
