The Worst Quality Round I Have Found To Date

I have just found this fantasy round on Ebay.
The quality is absolutely appalling.
To me it looks like a school project where they have cast in sand?

ISLE OF MAN: 1996 10 Euro "Spain 10 Years in EEC" .925 silver proof

A far better example of this fantasy round can be found here on Numista

That is very cool, not for me but still very cool.

Interesting the difference in quality between the two. I suspect the camera quality is hampering how the coin comes across in the picture.

The field looks very shiny on both examples though.

Strange one for The Isle of Man, Euro's x

Not a round. That's a COIN! I agree that picture of the reverse is just horrible. I can't believe the actual coin could be that bad.

What is hilarious that of the two obverse images the really shiny one seems to show the Queen smiling and the dark really bad quality one she looks like she is frowning :-)

Dang... I was looking at them and thinking there was something off about one over the other.... One looks fake but obviously not.. the face was questionable and I didn't say anything. But now you said about the smile and frown .... I can not unsee that.

LOL

I don't think they are different. I just think it's the lighting and the shading in the photograph, but it is a really unique difference. Smile!
