    … and nope. Again, I am NOT the QM, and still do not know who it is, though I’ve been messaged by folks who claim to know. As to their theories, maybe some hold water and some don’t. I dunno. Don’t particularly care, either. The mysterious hijinks are more fun that way.

    I still haven’t opened that heavyish mystery box yet, BTW. I guess nobody’s hounded me about that because we’ve all got a reasonably good guess about what’s in there.

    But then again, the QM has been known to pull a few trick rabbits out of his hat.

    (Let’s hope he’s trying out the counterstamped St. Gaudens trick this time, right?) ;)

    It's a brick.
    Counterstamped.

    Meh, what do I know? I'll go back to my corner now...

    To try and find the QM's identity, I am thinking of members that haven't posted much in the past few years. That leaves some old boys/gal busy to do all this work.
    I have a few folks in mind.;)

    I wonder if he got addresses from a secret Santa or Christmas card exchange.

    Nah, every time I have been apart of SS. The head Santa will ask you if it is ok to give your address. There fore a trail. QM is smarter than that.

    OK, I got around to opening that heavy box. The QM fortified the ends inside with blocks of wood!

    Here is the latest missive.

    8BE10FDD-A2C4-44FD-ADF5-287321015F8D.jpeg


    Inside was quite a variety of stuff.

    More counterstamped quarters, of course (so there will be more giveaways once I burrow out from under my backlog of overdue chores)… but other stuff, too. Including two C-notes, an ANACS AU55 1891-O Seated dime (!), an intriguing little drawstring bag which proved to hold some nasty enviro-damaged QN counterstamped quarters (fountain rescues, perhaps? They’ll go back into circulation) and a big model railroading medal that has @dwhiz’s name all over it. (Message me, Dennis- and thanks for your latest wooden dollar.)

    There were also various other odds and ends, including a 1902 quarter found in change by the QM himself!

    Cool pedigree, huh? That last is going to go to @Wizank, to make up for the fact that he won Quarter Notes Giveaway #7 back in January and I still haven’t shipped his goodies, almost a month later. Those are finally going out today, and there will also be a LordM Type 4 elongated cent in there, which is the key type in the LordM series to date (just 30 produced).

    Stay tuned for further fun.

    The Quarter Master has outdone himself. That's a very nice cache right there. I'm looking forward to the games @lordmarcovan

    Or did i? This is on the obverse!
    20220303_080245.jpg
    QuarterMaster, please text me again and let me know if this is really one of yours, and I'll release it back into the wild. If not, I'll keep. Thanks!

    Am I mistaken or is this the first one counter-stamped on obverse AND reverse?

    I think you're 100% correct, but i honestly don't think this is the work of the QuarterMaster. The messages aren't "pithy" at all, just very dark.

    And the stamping is not as straight as the ones I've received.

    Agreed. I was just surprised to see someone else doing it. Figured I'd post and have a little fun. My apologies if anyone thought it was really a QuarterNotes quarter. Ralph texted me last night and said it wasn't, ahem, i mean, "the QuarterMaster".

    Don't go ruining the fun.

    You know, if you can *cough* and add "..., ahem, i mean, "the QuarterMaster", you could have coughed and edited your gaffe.

    No offense, it's more fun not knowing who the QuarterMaster is.
