    No, it was to commemorate King Arthur stabbing George Washington in the eye after he crossed the Delaware in his yacht.

    HUH????? Are you Implying you don't think this isn't a REAL error? You mean someone would FAKE an error and say it's real? That this bayonet quarter was faked?

    I found it in one of my dad's sheds today so I'm guessing he discovered it. From the circulation wear I'm thinking it had to have been in the wild for decades before he stowed it away.

    I just can't believe this was carried around for God knows how long in no telling how many people's pockets without anyone ever noticing this subtle but unique error.

    I can't believe no one has asked how this could happen. Was the quarter being held by a vise? Because the effort required to have this bayonet get that far through the quarter would have needed quite a bit of force and not have been blunted on a solid hard surface. It's not like a bullet going through with all that velocity. The quarter would have had to been securely held in some sort of fashion before being pile-driven. Any thoughts?

    I think it’s called sarcasm, and it wasn’t even hidden.

    I think you have the coin on backwards. It was stabbed through the reverse.

    I love it!

    OK, I think I understand what happened now. King Arthur rammed his bayonet into the quarter, and anyone who has the strength to pull it out becomes president.

    Save that photo as an example of a "struck-through" coin when a newbie on CT asks what a struck-through coin is.
