george washington smoking on quarter

My friend came across a quarter with George Washington smoking a joint or cigar on it. It's a 2003 Maine "D" series. Has anyone seen this before?

let me see if i can make that happen

 

could come in handy

Have no idea what coin you are talking about, but i m very curious to see it

 

If you can provide a picture, it'll be the first one I've ever seen.

 

It could be a spitting eagle type situation where there was a die break or overpolished die but I have a feeling it may be some fool with too much time on their hands or could be a smoker advocate group or someone looking to push legalization of marijuana seeing that our country's founders smoked not only tobacco but hemp, and corn silk (can be halucinagenic something with the chemical breakdown into a form of vapored ethanol...makes sense they extract E-85 ethanol from corn) and then drank stout and ale warm out of tin and pewter cups. So they were high most of the time..lol. Alas without an image we will never know.

 

The OP said "joint or CIGAR" and you pull all of this from just one word? Tell me again who is the "fool" with too much time on their hands?

 

I'm curios now. Is it something that happened at the mint, or is someone beginning to produce hobo quarters?

 

here is the pic. i have another one that isnt as clear let me know if you want that. maybe a pipe also?

 

Kinda hard to see from that picture. Anything closer?

 

someone got bored. worth 25 cents.

 

The details are sticking out...not engraved with a tool or something. How would one be able to add metal to the coin and then sculpt it out?

I would put it on eBay it's worth more than 25 cents.

 

How can you people see anything? the pic is tiny.

 

Tiny yes, even after clicking on it to enlarge it, but I see what looks like a cigar or pipe sticking out of Washington's mouth with swirls of smoke rising above it. A larger picture sure would be nice.

May be a solder job.

 

I agree added solder then shaped. Normally called PMD post mint damage.

 

I wouldn`t say the mint would make that sort of error and it`s too much of a coincidence for an error to be in that sway, if it is real it`s worth a lot and likely more than the mcnugget shaped like George Washington.

But I would say it has novelty value like the hobo nickel or some other things.

 

It's a novelty coin, nothing more. Could be, as said, a solder job, but who knows. It's worth what you can get for it. This isn't a mint error. Sheesh.

 

If someone is willing to give you 50 cents, I;d jump on that without a doubt. Otherwise, I would use it to get a gumball.

 

Wow - gumballs are a quarter now? I guess I really am getting old - I got them for a penny was I was a kid.

 

Or you know, don't spend it and keep it as a novelty or conversation piece. People always are concerned about monetary value and never have the time to stop, take a breath and watch George smoke a cigar. I say keep it. It is only 25 cents after all.
