Just got the latest from The QuarterMaster with a 2007 Wyoming state quarter counter stamped "Petra Flavum". The letter is something concerning Einstein and the concept of Geometric Gravity(?) which he warps around to having something to do with coins...my number came up as 20, so I got a nice new $20 bill. Thank you QuarterMaster...
Very cool. Would love to see the counterstamped quarter to maybe help decipher the message. Maybe see the letter too. It seems to be different than the other recipients received. Must be exciting when you see the QM's return address appear in your mailbox.
I should know better by now... here's the letter (I hope) Dear Counterstamp Enthusiast, It is said that the most widely known equation is Albert Einstein's famous E = mc2. He developed it in his twenties, however throughout the rest of his life, Einstein pursued even greater ideas. Ultimately, he died before realizing his goal of the Grand Unified Theory. To date no other physicist has been able to complete Einstein's work. While the world waits for another super-genius to come along, we can only ponder the one tangible result Einstein left us. Namely, his formula addressing the concept of Geometric Gravity. This is generally written as: a = r F cosA where: Q = quotient p = gravity wave frequency A = cosmic age (of matter in question) For the better part of a century the physical science community has struggled to fully understand this equation. The main stumbling block has been the simple fact that cosmic gravitational wave frequency (F) is unverifiable by current science. I can now offer some insight into this conundrum. Mainstream scientists have been examining this idea using the most powerful mathematics available; ie, quantum mechanics and string theory, to the exclusion of other techniques. An understandable approach to be sure, but nonetheless myopic. lf other perspectives and systems of measurement are considered, the fog starts to dissipate. Amazingly, the wisdom of this formula is even more apparent when viewed through a numismatic lens. And at the risk of appearing self-centered, it becomes crystal clear when the location of the QuarterNotes compound is used as the origin for a quadrihedral coordinate system. Accordingly, the cosmic gravitational frequency must be... 25 (obviously), and the age variable refers to that of the specific numismatist being evaluated. As an example, consider a 40 year old, hopelessly addicted counterstamp collector. Running the numbers, the result is Q = 60. No, this does not indicate the person's intelligence, or even suggest that he is uncirculated, but rather it quantifies his astral-value within general exonumia. Clearly, these profound scientific insights could only have come to me from a higher, divine source. Therefore, I am compelled to fulfill the results of this sacred equation for every member of the extended QuarterNotes family. Thus, each person's data has been used to compute the appropriate compensation, adjusted to a FRN denomination, and enclosed herewith. Each recipient should consider the unique circumstances surrounding this windfall, and use it only for the most noble of numismatic purposes. lf you feel unworthy of this honor, well... it likely stems from a subconcious perception of the truth. TAc. Q;*rterM*sf,er and a bad picture
A google search on PETRA FLAVUM turns up this website for a Norwegian artist, Petra, who collaborates with a poet artist named Flavum. She works with the unusual medium of found animal skulls. The US coin bearing a skull is the Montana state quarter. Montana, of course, borders Wyoming. Since there is no mention of the Cave of Caerbannog, I'm no longer interested .
The best cave in Montana is Lewis and Clark Caverns. Great cave and a great tour. Long walk uphill in the hot sun but worth the effort.
It's strange that someone would have so many names and addresses. I would worry about who has my information.
I think the adjusted FRN denomination is inversely proportional to one's cosmic age, times PI and 25. Mine was a U.S. Grant. Take a look at a millennial's adjusted FRN denomination . . . . . . https://www.cointalk.com/threads/quarternotes-is-baaack.397309/page-2 Oh Yeah . . . . Thanks much QuarterMaster! Totally unexpected and appreciated. Now to find a most noble purpose . . . . Forgive my delay in acknowledgement. The dispatch arrived on Monday, but work prevents much time on CT these days. If only I had a favorable gravitational wave come my way, perhaps the time continuum could be stretched in my favor. I also note that each quarter in this distribution is different. I am curious about the one I received. I'll try to get a photo shoot scheduled and post it up. Z
