Where's Whackjob Inc. when you need him?

As a serious collector of proof error coins, I can't believe ol' KingCon never happened upon this jewel.

The complexity of this die crack is mind-blowing! This example has a crack on the reverse that looks remarkably like the outline of the State of Ohio!!! The crack doesn't extend through the devices... so the die must've been pulled before it cracked all the way around (at least, no examples are known). I've heard of other state quarters with similar errors.

Marty, do you want first dibs on this one?

Hey, I have one of those (silver) rattling around in my pocket! I'm rich!

Whoa! Russ, keep it quiet. Let's not flood the market just yet... gotta sell one or two for $999,999.99 first.

He (KINCOIN) is busy removing the gold plating from SBA's. He told me himself on the NGC forums.........

MadMarty · December 31, 2002 1:55AM

ROTFLMAO!!

I sent the whackjob an E-Mail, with the link to this ultra rare error!!!

that one's called the "spaceman assassination" variety. it shows the path of the magic bullet thru the spaceman's head.

MadMarty · December 31, 2002 10:24AM

The whackjob responds. He dropped me an E-Mail... Thought I'd share.

<< <i>Marty,
Wait till the boys & girls on the boards see my new OHIO STATE QUARTER. It
is Alan Shepard. The pissing astronaut. I am calling it the "PISSING
ASTRONAUT." Remember when he just couldn't hold it any longer sitting on that
launch pad? Well, this crack shows it running down his leg and out of his
boot.

People , as a national expert on cracks, crackerjacks, crackpots and crackups, I can tell you

that the coin in question, is worth at most, $ 300,000 on the open market. Not a cent more.

This is clearly the funniest thread of the day.....Well done.

Sorry Clark, I'm holding out for the urinating astronaut version. Amazing how he can draw what looks like the state of Ohio. Musta had a lot of beers.

MrLee · December 31, 2002 10:49AM

Is that what it looks like when you pee in space?

ClarkOfKent · December 31, 2002 10:56AM

You know... I thought I was being pretty funny when I made this post, but your responses have got me cracking up!

Gilbert · January 1, 2003 1:32AM

Personally, I thought the last extended "invite" created enough hassle. I guess you guys are bored and find "trolling" entertaining, but the great majority find it distasteful. But,

... to each his own. Just remember, when you lie with dogs, you're bound to get fleas.

<< <i>when you lie with dogs, you're bound to get fleas. >>

GASP! I hope Bulldog and Dog97, FC57coins, TWODOGGS, doesn't see this........

Gilbert · January 1, 2003 2:49AM

behave Lucille!

Bear · January 1, 2003 2:53AM

Gilbert - Lucille is more fun when she doesnt behave

ClarkOfKent · January 1, 2003 3:29AM

Gilbert,

I don't really understand your post to this thread.

Are you calling me a troll? Or, the others who responded?
Does it bother you that we dared to have a little light-hearted fun in the midst of all the crap that's been posted in the last couple of days? Heck, I'll bet even ol' KINCOIN got a kick out of it.
What's this

<< <i>last extended "invite" >>

you mention? Are you referring to the thread where one member accused another of inviting doops to the forums?
Are you insinuating that all of those who responded to this thread are laying down with dogs?
If your answer to the previous question was, "Yes", does that make me the dog? With fleas, no less?

Maybe you just accidently posted to the wrong thread?
If not... I'd say you're guilty of doing a little "trolling", yourself.

p.s.
You might want to go get a flea bath.

Bulldog · January 1, 2003 4:38AM

Me Bulldog, Me no Fleas!

Yikes Gilbert, Lighten up Dude. I had far more respect for your sensitive side!

Flealess Bulldog

MadMarty · January 1, 2003 4:45AM

Actually KinCoin got a big kick out of it. I E-Mail hine the link to the thread, that is his response I posted. I don't think Clark is a troll, maybe the troller, he was trolling for trolls.

LOL I'm not buying it or the coin. There's little gravity on the moon.
