Even though I have been somewhat AWOL from CT, the QuarterMaster has kept me on his mailing list. I have felt great regrets in not publicly thanking him for wracking my brain with unsolvable mysteries (namely his identity and real location of origin), but thank him I do! Today's arrival and latest installment seems to be a reckoning of all things Quarter Notes, LTD. for posterity's sake. I will get my camera out in a bit to take a photo of said counter-stamped state quarter, but suffice it to say, it is an Alabama state quarter with WIGGLY FANS stamped across Helen Keller. Accompanying this quarter was this note. Z
I need to recount the counter-stamped message in my post above ^^. Getting my 5x loupe out, I now realize it says WIGGLY FANG and not WIGGLY FANS. This message is a clear reference to Tuscaloosa . . . . . . . as in Tuscaloosa Alabama. Z
I got the same mailing, including an Illinois quarter counterstamped UBI . EST . MEA. A Google search provided the answer to the meaning of that phrase.
Quarter Master, if you're reading this, I'm sorry I haven't run a giveaway lately with some of the stock you previously sent. It's been a while and I have been remiss in my duties as the sometime distributor of your product. I'll try to get another contest up soon.
I notice that Quartermaster spells the word labor as labour. That spelling would indicate perhaps a European origin. If not in location, then perhaps in upbringing. Just saying....
@ZoidMeister - I need to send you a Type 6 (2023) LordM elongated coin, too, to keep you up as my official cataloger of those. The 2023 batch was rolled on Buffalo nickels. So I don't have to excavate through our PM history, message me with a reminder of your address, would you?
Yes, the Quarter Master is Santa. He long ago recruited me as one of his elves, and I've been slacking off. Here. Now I've put a new QN giveaway up. .
