1941 quarter, countermarked/stamped (?) with P35

Hi All!
Just looking to see if anyone has any insight on the coin attached.
Is there any way to research counterstamped/marked coins? We have one we are curious about. 1941 quarter, marked with P35, then another P on the head of George Washington....Thanks for any help!

First, welcome to the neighborhood, Michelle!

Your quarter appears to have been counterstamped at random by someone who had nothing better to do. It may be that those punches were the only ones available to him/her. We see coins similarly marked that are posted by other members from time to time.

It looks like a stamp given to machinists to stamp the pieces they just worked on . Though as Chris said it may just be someone with nothing better to do who had a set of punches . Welcome to CT .

 

No idea what it means, if anything. This is what I think of when I hear "P35" though:


Pretty sure it's not related.

 

Ha!
Thanks for shedding some light!

 

I love that pistol , though they did have terrible triggers it was one reliable 9mm and the 1st double stack iirc . Browning invented some marvelous weapons .

 

P-35 (wonder if they were made in 1941?)

 

To some people, counterstamps are damage. To others, counterstamps represent history. Some people collect chopmarked Trade Dollars because they know the Trade Dollar served its purpose in the Orient. What do you think?

I have a 1798 LC (style 2 hair I think) that has someone's initials carved into it. They're very old initials, maybe 1840s or 1850s. I love it.

 

How about Philadelphia Police 35th District?

Or NYC Public School #35 ?

 

Maybe it was the length of time a kid spent at a urinal.

Urinal? How dare you allude to gender.

 

You had to know I was going to post this Chris .

 

Well, how many women do you know who use a urinal?

Chris

 

I don't check people using urinals.

 

According to North Carolina, they think a lot ..

 

You were the one who used the "gender" card.

Chris

 

Unisex bathrooms mandated by the state?

Chris

 

It was a joke. If you don't know what that is, look in the mirror.
