    Entry Post, and what a fun one to participate in! My guess is that the counter stamped quarters are music-related.
    Can't say that I've ever seen one. Thanks.

    I have enjoyed reading the different interpretations of "Odd Rituals" on the California state coin, but the counterstamp makes me think of the Eagles' "Hotel California". While the song never uses that phrase, odd rituals seem implicit in the content....Dude.

    Thanks as always to lordmarcovan and now to QuarterMaster. This is fun.

    They're not all music related. e.g. the Vermont stamp "Too Tarry" refers to the thickness of the maple syrup from the trees. Vermont is famous for it's maple syrup. "Slay-Satan" on N. Carolina refers to Kill Devil Hills which is close to the site where the Wright Brothers flew their first flight.

    Well, that was a much longer hiatus than originally intended! Sorry ‘bout that! :facepalm::bag:

    Let’s get the drawing done, shall we?

    Stand by... still playing catch-up, here...

    Well, Leif, it looks like you're not only going to get a counterstamped Georgia quarter (plus nine others), from me here (in Georgia!), but since this giveaway drawing is so long overdue, you will also be receiving some other goodies as well. And yes, I realize I will be shipping it all to Norway. I don't mind, since everybody waited so long for this one.

    I will send you a private message, and will need your shipping address. I see you were last active July 13th, and it's the 30th now. You have one month from today (OK, let's say until September 1st) to claim your prize.

    Regards,

    ~Robertson ("Rob") Shinnick ("Lordmarcovan")

    @Leif Erik Johansen - your envelope is in the mail. There are several older stamps on it.

    One, the 1932 Daniel Webster, is 89 years old and just now being used for the first time. It had perfectly good adhesive on the back of it!
