Eternal thanks to the QuarterMeister, I mean Quarter Master . . . . .
I admit, the coded message on this one has me flummoxed. I keep picking my brain, but it's meaning is a bit fuzzy. My attempts at decoding it have not been very fruitful. I would like to cobbler together an appropriate guess, but the thought of being wrong has left me in the pits.
Anyway, I know y'all are a lot smarter and can probably figure it out. My intent was to just thank @lordmarcovan and the Quarter Master for the kind gift and for lowering the bar enough to admit the Hamlet Squire of Tomfoolery . . . .
I found this one a few weeks ago, and I'd like to return it to it's owner.
Looks like an original. Anyone know how to snail mail the infamous "QuarterMaster"?
But seriously. They're counterstamped and then spent. Why would the person responsible want it back? You are the owner.
I'm hoping he'll see my return address, see all the hard work i put in, and maybe he'll put me on the mailing list.
I actually won a contest over on CT that won me 8 or 10 of these. I realized, they're not meant to be kept. I release all I've found, as well. Except for this one. This one is his.

How interesting. I found one today as well. Do you find them often?
Nice background. I use black construction paper. You?
How could this thread just end all of a sudden? You guys got something better to do? Not possible. This is awesome! I found a Connecticut quarter with five numbers in it. I believe they are 06320. I’ll post pictures later. Anyways, I was hoping it was some experimental coin from the mint, but honestly I think this is even cooler. Plus does nobody notice that last commenter is most likely the quartermaster?! That Hass to be you isn’t it sir? If it is thank you very much for adding another cool twist to my numismatic dealings. I’m gonna start tracking these things down. Let me know if I can be any assistance. And just a heads up, I recently moved to the springs in the street has a royal title. 😏
I've been finding them regularly for years in rolls here in the Denver area.
I've been told I may have a larger collection of them than the folks who've managed to get on the QuarterMasters mailing list lol.
I still sure would love to get on that list somehow
I've posted many of them in other forums but never spotted this thread.
Found my most recent one a month ago in a Loomis roll...

Ah yes...the NJ quarter. The pun is that a Jersey is a kind of cow, so a "new Jersey" is a "young cow".

@ZoidMeister Congrats! Thanks for posting them!
I have no clue what they mean, maybe some other members can help out.
Off the top of my head, the Indiana quarter has the Roman numerals for 805 km.
How long is that car race they have there?
I think you nailed it.
Indianapolis 500
500 miles = 804.672 km
The roman numeral DCCCV is 805
I edited my post - I knew that. No idea why the typo!
So far, so good.
I know the meaning for the Iowa quarter but I won't spoil it for y'all . . .

New envelopes have been appearing from the QuarterMaster.
Here are the contents of the one I received.
Eternal thanks to the QuarterMaster. I'm not worthy . . . .
