Help! - Does anyone know who Quarternotes Ltd. are?

Do not handle the bill unless you check for spores or viruses. The Society of Damaged Coins have decided you are a heretic and vows to destroy you so you can't say DEFDAM anymore.

That is an old thread of mine. I made my own counterstamp Cent.

It has nothing to do with the Quarters in question nor the $50.00 bill

 

Freaky and intriguing. I’m going with Randy’s assumption of a mystery adventure.

Also, the Connecticut coin is a reference to a town in CT named Mianus. It was also featured in a “Jackass” stunt.

No idea what that gets you.

 

Maybe a church member that is thankful for help you gave them at some time. Someone put a lot of time and thought into this. Has to be a friend being kind and messing with you at the same time.
You help a lot of people. Might be impossible to ever figure it out.

 

True. I'm just going to let it be. I'm sure one day maybe I will figure it out. The $50.00 came in handy. My daughter has an old cat that's on a special diet and can only eat prescribed cat food. It's like $85.00 bucks a month so she asks if I could help. She loves that cat so I can't say no

 

Maybe Robert Lahti found out your address

 

I agree, I occasionally get mail from stacks, heritage, even state numismatic clubs that I haven't signed up for, but I subscribe to coin world and numismatic news, plus the Numismatist, so I'm sure someone from there had a hand in these mailings. But I don't mind because sometimes I get to see some coins I'll never be able to afford.

 

$50? How do I get on their mailing list?

 

Arecibo PR corresponds to the zip, but the street address and town name* are bogus - the letters are being mailed from the Jacksonville FL area (320,322) - the sender appears to be a philatelist (*Stampville) using old commemorative stamps for postage - anyway, you're $51 ahead

 

...that's what YOU think...

 

I’m with you @Mountain Man!! I could always go for some free money myself! And the quarters would be cool to get also!

 

I think this is like a mystery for you to solve.

Each quarter and it's countermarks, are clues for you to decipher.

Here they are. Let's look at them one by one. The design on the quarter or the state, are connected somehow to the letters/phrases. Assume the quarters were purposely chosen for what's on them.

#1 2001 New York -
Obverse Stamp - R W E
Reverse Stamp - SUCKD ORANGE - I don't get this one yet. They have the E in orange, so why was the E left out of SUCK_D ? This is the only one counter marked on both sides. That is a clue.

#2 1999 Connecticut
Reverse Stamp - HAD A BLAST IN MIANUS- Is there anything in Connecticut or Mianus that is connected to an explosion (blast) or to a party( a blast)
Hey Mods, don't hate me for this but could " HAD A BLAST IN MIANUS" actually be "HAD A BLAST IN MY ANUS" ? You know that anal gas actually burns, right? Enough of it concentrated could cause a "blast".

#3 1999 Delaware
Reverse Stamp - HORSE CENTS - This quarter already has a horse on it. Is there something about someone from Delaware named Cromwell? Cents should be spelled sense if it means Horse Sense, but it's not. That is itself a clue.

#4 2000 Virginia
Reverse Stamp - STAMPED IN QUARANTINE Isn't there a place called Quantico in Virginia ? A postage stamp from Quantico ?

What if the $50 is also a clue and they did not mean for you to spend it? Did you notice anything odd or different about that note ? The date, the series, the serial number, anything?

Since we truly have no real direction as of yet, then every idea and/or theory should be examined.

Onward through the Fog !

 

Due to the crisis, people stay at home, some don’t even go to work anymore. I guess an old friend has too much spare time and is messing with you. It appears to be a mystery/riddle for you to solve. I’d play along

PS: have you ever participated in CT secret Santa? If so, someone knows your address and they know you love coins.

PPS: It’s not me, because I would have sent stamps instead of coins :-D

 

I've been receiving letters and coins from this guy for a couple of years now. I've finally figured out who he is but don't want to give him his 15 minutes of fame. It's all starting to get creepy especially when I started getting get-well cards from him in the middle of last year. I wasn't sick at the time and still aren't, but have gotten two more since.

And no, there's no Stampville, PR connection. Stampville doesn't exist. The address is made up as is the email address. I've lost track of him but don't think he lives in Jacksonville either...used to be a west coast guy. There's no compound...well, that's what he calls it... where thousands of coins are struck. It's a small operation with a guy hand stamping coins in his garage. It's not interesting to me anymore, just annoying.

So there's no mystery message or hidden meaning in the coins that he used or in the counter stamp letters themselves? Nothing to solve or be amazed by?

Just a kooky guy doing kooky things? What a let down.

Is he a Coin Talk !! member? Did he ever annoy you with a $50 bill like he did paddy?

 

OK.. Good to know. Thanks for your response!

 

No mystery, no hidden meaning. No great wisdom to learn from and certainly nothing to be amazed by. You got it, Hookman, just a kooky guy doing kooky things.
Like an amateur stalker really. When I moved a couple of years ago, I got letters at my new address. Not a hard thing to find someone's new address, but it takes an effort to do so.
Yes, he did send me a Grant. Still in the envelope.

Bruce

 

OMG that’s creepy!

 

So odd
