[CLOSED] Quarter Notes Giveaway #16 (counterstamped quarters + bonus coin)

Contest status: CLOSED
Drawing: @SensibleSal66 won

Winner's notice of receipt

This contest will be decided by a random drawing sometime on or around May 1, 2023, or shortly thereafter, depending on my schedule. Should I be absent, you may consider the contest active until such time as I return and finalize it with the drawing.

The enigmatic “QuarterMaster” from Quarter Notes, Ltd. (whose secretive identity remains unknown to me to this day) counterstamps short, pithy phrases- which amount to riddles or puns- on Statehood quarters, and releases them into circulation. Often the phrase has something to do with the state or design featured on the host coin.

He has anonymously sent me several rolls of his handiwork to distribute.

I got an email from the Quarter Master:

"Hi Rob,

Here’s an idea for future QuarterNotes contests:

In addition to ‘Entry Post’, how about requiring that the entrant include a suggestion for a possible future QN counterstamp. They could select any State and offer their best associated inscription.

Example: Hawaii ‘GET LEIED’

Just remember that due to the size of the coin, each inscription must be 12 characters or less, including spaces. People should try their best to be creative and clever, but the quality of their inscription will not be judged.

The QuarterMaster​

So there you have it.

To enter, simply post your suggestion for a future QN counterstamp, as suggested by the Quarter Master above.

The prize this time will be a dozen (12) different Statehood quarters counterstamped by the Quarter Master.



There is also a thirteenth bonus coin. This is a Kansas State quarter (non-counterstamped), with the "RUST" error (a filled die which made the "T" in TRUST weaker than usual, and even missing on some coins). You will not receive the exact coin pictured below, but it will be a similar RUST error that was found in circulation by the Quarter Master himself.




Good luck in the drawing, and have fun with the riddles. Also, maybe one of your suggestions will be featured on a future QN counterstamp; who knows?
