    Quarter Notes Giveaway #5

    This contest is now CLOSED. Winner was announced in Post #66.

    This contest will be decided by a random number drawing sometime on or around November 1st, 2021, or whenever I'm available on the forums. I might end it earlier than that, but if so, there will be another identical giveaway posted shortly afterward. Should I be absent, you may consider the contest active until such time as I return and finalize it with the drawing, and then we'll move on to the next one.

    The enigmatic “QuarterMaster” from Quarter Notes, Ltd. sent me another surprise package. This time it was a small Priority box. I always open my mystery-mail from Quarter Notes because it’s always interesting and fun.

    The QuarterMaster (whose secretive identity remains unknown to me to this day) sent me two rolls of his handiwork this time.

    You see, he counterstamps short, pithy phrases- which amount to riddles, sometimes- on Statehood quarters, and releases them into circulation. Often the phrase has something to do with the state featured on the host coin.

    Some folks who end up on his mailing list (who knows how?) get these in the mail. Occasionally with the mind-blowing inclusion of crisp, high-denomination US currency notes. I've been pleasantly shocked to find a new hundred-dollar bill in the envelope a time or two! Others have received fifties. Just once in a while. The Quarter Master knows how to keep things exciting.

    This time around, the generous QuarterMaster has instructed me to give away eight lots of ten counterstamped quarters each. This I will do as my schedule permits. We will give these away via random drawing, per my usual practice.

    The winners should have fun trying to solve the riddles of the counterstamps.

    I will also toss in two trinkets from my own inventory into each lot, and will ship the lots with some vintage (1930s-1950s) stamps, just for added fun.

    So... want in? ;)

    Here's all you need to do:

    Post a reply including the phrase "entry post", and thank the Quarter Master. You may also discuss your interesting circulation finds, counterstamped coins, etc. here if you like. There is no limit on conversational replies to this thread, but limit one entry post per contestant.

    This drawing is for a lot of ten (10) different Statehood quarters with Quarter Notes, Ltd. counterstamps on them. I'll try to include all different designs and/or counterstamps in each lot, if supplies permit, and will add a couple of additional trinkets from my own inventory to each lot.

    And if you don't win this drawing, there will be more. There were originally eight lots of ten coins in each, total. So I'll try to do a drawing every once in a while, depending on when I'm active on the forums.

    Numismatic Regards,

    ~Robertson ("Rob") Shinnick ("LordM")
    On behalf of the anonymous and enigmatic "Quarter Master" from Quarter Notes, Ltd.

    BTW, this is the latest missive received from The Quarter Master.

    Look, he sees these giveaways!

    (And before you think it- no, I am not the Quarter Master. I do not even know who he is. Really.)

    Entry post. Thank you Quarter Master for the fun you are providing. Thank you
    LordMarcovan for guiding these give aways. Now for my picture post:

    A castle CM representing the city of Tournai on a host coin from Holland,
    Dordrecht mint (III-271a). I figured a CM coin would be appropriate for
    this entry. An Early Dated one, 1499, at that.

    Entry post, Thank you Quarter master and to you Lordm. I have a separate coin collection of coins pulled from circulation. It gives me a different thrill finding and paying face value for coins.

    Thank you, QuarterMaster, for your generosity.

    @lordmarcovan - Rob, how many contests are still active? I can't keep up with all of them. TIA!

    Oops! "Contest" should be pluralized....."contests". This is one time that I failed to proofread my own comment.

    Don’t have a counter stamped quarter to show, so this will have to do:

    Once again I would like to thank both @lordmarcovan, and the Quartermaster for putting on this great contest.

    However, I don’t have any counterstamped coins or quarters for that matter, but here’s a recent find from a campus vending machine.

    Thank you's go out to The QuarterMaster and Lord Marcovan. Lots of fun following along. Truly appreciate it.

    Here's a coil to the soil find. It was my first find while detecting with my five year old grandson. We were in Corova, NC, the Outer Banks. He was soooo excited. It obviously has that 'beautiful' environmental 'toning' some would call damage ;)
    FYI, when I gave the quarter to him to keep he said, 'Pop Pop, you take the quarter. I don't want to lose it. Maybe you can give it to me another time.' I've got it put away safe and sound for him.

    I’d love to be the recipient of a Quarter Notes mystery package. I was a sucker for the mystery “grab bag” at the convenience store when I was a kid.
