<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YankeeDime, post: 8157284, member: 119919&quot;]I&#039;ve got a special treat for everyone today!</p><p><br /></p><p>This majestic specimen is the only know example of a 1977 Washington Quarter struck through by a bayonet. Yep you read that correct, a freaking bayonet!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1423509[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1423510[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So here&#039;s my theory on how this occurred in the mint... See what happened was the Russians (I say Russians because I&#039;m pretty sure it&#039;s from a mosin nagant) invaded the Philadelphia mint back in 1977.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you can imagine there was all kinds of commotion and one of the freshly minted bags of quarters was inadvertently stabbed?, skewered?, bayonetted?... Anyway voila, a one of a kind mint error was born.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know what you&#039;re thinking, &quot;But Yankee... I don&#039;t remember ever reading about that!&quot;. That&#039;s because it was a government cover up!!! You really think they would admit that the Russians invaded one of our mints?!...</p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see there&#039;s not only circulation wear on the quarter but on the bayonet as well so I&#039;m guessing this was in circulation for a while before my dad discovered it since I found it cleaning out one of his many sheds today.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep an eye on Etsy because you will soon be able to make this unique One of a kind mint error yours for the low price of $14,000,000,000,000.00[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
