"The GARGOYLE QUARTER"
Year 2002 "Ohio" Quarter is a rare - if not totally unique - overstruck quarter of some unknown overstrike type. This quarter is really bizarre because not only does it contain overstrike features to be nearly impossible to have occurred during the minting process under virtually any overstrike scenario, but it also contains weird images of a Gargoyle, and of a rib cage with a heart (bottom 2 images)!

Hello. My name is John J. Williams. I have for decades been and still am an avid researcher and investigator of weird, unusual, unexplained and fortean phenomena. Recently, just out of dumb luck, my wife was handed a very rare - if not totally unique - overstruck quarter that has some weird, inexplicable features. Some of the work I've done can be found on these webpages => www.lonestartek.net/weird.htm, and much of my research is described in my books and manuals on phenomena topics => www.tsc-global.com/weird.htm. Please note that while I am anxious to get my Gargoyle Quarter inspected and evaluated, I will NOT send it anywhere, go anywhere, or pay anything for its inspection or evaluation. Should you be interested in inspecting or evaluating my Gargoyle Quarter, please email me your credentials, and when you think you would like to see the coin. If mutually agreeable, I will then set up a time to invite you to my home or some suitable public location to inspect / evaluate my coin. You will have to provide me a written report. NOTE: I need at least 3 days as my coin is not being kept in my home for obvious security reasons, but with a trusted person some distance away.

Detailed Comments on the Photos of
my Gargoyle Quarter

     (A) - (C), 10x: Images (A) and (B) are the top and bottom halves of the front of the Gargoyle Quarter. The Gargoyle Quarter appears to be the same size, shape and thickness of a normal quarter, and stacks up perfectly normally with other quarters. Furthermore, all of the edge and lettering near the edge of the coin appear to be virtually normal, so if the Gargoyle Quarter is an overstrike, most likely at least one area of the edge would have been disrupted as well. Note that in both images there appears to be a weird and ugly scar on Washington's face that nearly perfectly follows the contours of his neck, cheek, eye, forehead and back of the head, and that Image (B) looks like Washington's head was literally ripped off his body. Image (C) is the image of a normal quarter. Also note that Image (A) shows some kind of weird gouging just above and behind Washington's head that appears to be like snakes or a wormhole, and Image (B) shows similar weird gouging underneath the neck all the way to the Denver "D" mark, and also note the weird slave-like collar fitting perfectly around Washington's neck. This "collar" has wording on it - 60X Images (L) - (O). The Gargoyle Quarter's surface on both sides feels like the normal texture of a quarter.
     (a) - (b), 10X: Two views of the reverse side of a good Georgia State Quarter. Some say that the Georgia Quarter banner with "JUSTICE" in it made the impression of the slave-like collar around the neck of Washington in the Gargoyle Quarter. In Image (b), I rotated the Georgia Quarter banner-like image to approximate the same curvature as the slave-like collar, but as you can clearly see, the curvature of the banner cannot be made to even closely fit the curvature of the collar. Also, there does not appear to be any other element on the Gargoyle Quarter that looks like it was impressed from a Georgia Quarter. More on the banner and collar below.
     (D) - (E), 10X: Top and bottom halves of the reverse (back) side of the Gargoyle Quarter showing that it is an "Ohio" quarter of the State quarter series. The back appears to be normal. Note that of all of the State quarters - for that matter all of the quarters that have ever been minted - to my knowledge, only the Ohio quarter features an astronaut! Hmmm.
     (F) - (G), 60X: Image (F) is that of the "GOD" in the Gargoyle Quarter, while Image (G) is that of the "GOD" in a normal quarter, which appears to be a typically clean, sharp and crisp stamping. Note how the word "GOD" is so mashed and distorted in the Gargoyle Quarter as to be almost unreadable without magnification, how the "GO" in "GOD" is overstruck by an image that looks like a crop circle, and that the "D" is so distorted that it appears to be another "O" to perhaps mockingly change "GOD" into "GOO".
     (H) - (I), 60X: Image (H) is Washington's left eye in the Gargoyle Quarter, while Image (I) is Washington's eye in the normal quarter. Note how bizarre, multi-faceted, and alien-looking that the eye appears in the Gargoyle Quarter. Also note that the only apparent defect that is on Washington's face left of the corner of the eye just happens to occur in the very center of the eye.
     (J) - (K), 60X: Image (J) is Washington's nose and left cheek in the Gargoyle Quarter, while Image (K) is Washington's nose and left cheek in the normal quarter. Note how bizarre looking the cheek area appears in the Gargoyle Quarter, and the appearance of what looks like an ugly wart on Washington's cheek (also shown in Images (A) and (B)). You might also notice that the tip of Washington's nose in the Gargoyle Quarter is a little less hooked and more bumpy than its tip in a normal quarter. Since I am not an expert in expected variations that can occur in Washington's image on quarters, I do not know whether or not these deviations are within the range of expected deviations.
     (L) - (O), 60X: Images (L) and (M) are adjacent images of the Gargoyle Quarter, and they appear to be some kind of lettering on a slave-like collar that appears to fit perfectly around Washington's neck. Images (N) and (O) are Images (L) and (M), respectively, digitally flipped, resulting in the appearance of "JUS" in Image (N) and "UST" in Image (O) for a resulting word that has, "JUST" in it (perhaps "JUSTICE" but who knows?) (note that an image impressed on something creates either a backward or upside-down image on the receiving surface). The lettering in Image (O) appears to continue to the right of the "T" in "JUST" but is obliterated although the collar outline is still strong. Note that nowhere on this quarter does there appear to be a word that has "JUST" in it - therefore, "JUST" could not have possibly come from that die or from another Ohio quarter pressed against it. In fact, the only other coin I can find that has "JUST" in it is the 1999 Georgia quarter, reverse side. However, while the "JUSTICE" in the Georgia quarter looks pretty similar, a greatly magnified analysis reveals substantial differences in letter shapes, and no other part of the Gargoyle Quarter does there appear to be any other part of a Georgia quarter image - so, if caused by a Georgia quarter, then what caused the rest of the defects? Why would only a small part of the Georgia quarter be impressed on the Gargoyle Quarter? And why would an extremely rare lettering on our coins, "JUST", happen to be the lettering that caused the imprint when virtually every U.S. coin share identical common coin words, such as "AMERICA," "LIBERTY," "TRUST," etc? Especially when you consider that "JUST" or "JUSTICE" on a slave-like collar around Washington's neck (very symbolic as the Founding Father of our Country) looks like some type of get-even message or warning. And how could - even intentionally, much less accidentally - the neck "collar" be so placed in position, orientation, size and shape to fit Washington's neck so perfectly? The question still remains, where did the "JUST" come from??? And how would it have been formed onto a collar-like structure that happened to perfectly fit around Washington's neck?
     (n) - (o), 60X: These images roughly correspond to (N) and (O) above, but they are from the banner on the reverse of the good Georgia State Quarter of Images (a) and (b). As you can clearly see, the banner lettering on the Georgia Quarter is much thinner, sharper and rounder than the collar lettering on the Gargoyle Quarter. Furthermore, while the banner lettering appears to raised in the images to some, in fact it is incused into the banner (light source was below quarter), so therefore if a Georgia Quarter was used to impress the Gargoyle Quarter the collar letter parts (eg: the stem of the "T") would be even thinner and sharper than the corresponding banner letter parts - not the opposite - so therefore the "JUST" on the Gargoyle Quarter could not have come from a partial impression of the "JUSTICE" from a Georgia Quarter. There are some similarities in letter spacing, sizes and overall shapes between the banner and collar lettering, however, these are very likely to be just coincidental and correspond more to the small natural range of letter spacing, sizes and shapes found in most types of coins, medallions and printed and displayed documents using the English language. Regardless, just like fingerprints, to prove that an Item A stamped an Item B, there must be virtually a perfect match in the copy in letter spacing, overall shapes (relevant to the font used), and sizes, with the exception of a small amount of variation in letter part thickness and sharpness in the copy due to the stamping process itself. However, for the sake of argument, let's say that the Georgia Quarter "JUST" lettering somehow found its way onto the Gargoyle Quarter. Then the transfer is still very unlikely to have been caused by a direct impression of a Georgia Quarter onto the Gargoyle Quarter, and that whatever stamping device was made to make the Gargoyle Quarter collar impression would have been copied from a Georgia Quarter banner, and that such a device was probably made so that the collar could be precisely placed around Washington's neck while at the same time not imparting other elements in the Georgia Quarter's design to the Gargoyle Quarter. If so, then whoever or whatever made the Gargoyle Quarter went through a great amount effort just to make a point, so he/she/it must have a very strong reason for producing the Gargoyle Quarter.
     (P) - (Q), 60X: Image (P) is a weird wavy ridge that has two eye-looking features above it giving it the appearance of a frog-faced creature. Some believe that it is the image of a second gargoyle. Image (Q) has what appears to be a loop of fine wire or hair that somehow got embedded into the coin's metal at both of its ends (if it has ends - it may be a continuous loop for all I can tell).
     (R) - (S), 60X: Image (R) better shows the snake-like gouging above and behind Washington's head that occurs in the "OF AMERICA" area BELOW the normal lettering. Image (S) shows the snake-like gouging below and behind Washington's head that extends all the way to the "D" (Denver Mint) area. The snake image that appears behind Washington's head looks like a cobra with his mouth pressed against the head. Note the there is observeable disruption in, covering up of or discoloration of the "OF AMERICA" or the "D" caused by this apparent gouging - both which are crisp and clean with the gouging coming right to the very edges of the lettering. If the gouging had occurred after the coin's original strike, or after an overstrike, or after any kind of layer was later applied to the quarter's surface, then clearly the normal lettering would have been disrupted, discolored and/or covered over. Therefore, the snake-like gouging could have only occurred in the planchet before even the original striking of the coin. The probability for a coin to experience both a planchet error and an overstrike error(s) must be truly astronimical. I do not know what the apparent metal projection is just to the left of the "D".
     (T), 60X: Image (T) looks like the image of a crouching Gargoyle (or the creature in the "Alien" movie) on the top, back of Washington's head. Top middle of Image (P) shows The Gargoyle's large cat-like right eye (some snakes have an eye like this also - the better for hunting in the dark!). This is followed by the snout, the right nostril (dark spot), and the mouth with a couple of teeth barely showing as if sneering. The top of the head starts at the top middle of the image, and the head extends downward and diagonally to the right to near the bottom right of the image. The head appears to be menacingly turned partially towards the viewer. To the left of the head is the neck, right shoulder and upper torso of the Gargoyle. In the very bottom middle appears to be the end view of a branch or rod that the Gargoyle has his long claws or right arm draped over. I cannot find a gargoyle-like image on any normal Washington quarter, or on a half-dollar, dime, penny or nickel, so if this image had just randomly occurred, why then just on the Gargoyle Quarter?
     (U), 60X: Image (U) appears to be that of a strange appearing rib cage (on the left), with a heart with its chambers exposed (on the right) superimposed on the ribcage there. The heart looks like it has been ripped out of the chest with the artery severed. I cannot find a rib cage with or without a heart superimposed on it on any normal Washington quarter or on a half-dollar, dime, penny or nickel, so if this image had just randomly occurred, why then just on the Gargoyle Quarter?

Other Curious Properties

     A coin error expert emailed me about my Gargoyle Quarter. He stated that the quarter appeared to be a "glue job" to him - that is, he believes that someone glued a layer of some unknown substance or material onto the coin's surface to make it falsely appear as an overstrike. He suggested that I place the coin in acetone to remove the suspected glue. Since I didn't have acetone at the time, I placed the quarter obverse (head) side up in a medicine bottle cap and thoroughly spray it with WD-40 (WD-40 is a penetrating oil that is great for removing stickers from glass and metal surfaces, such as bumper stickers as it dissolves glues, adhesives and cements very well). I simply do not understand what the result was! When submerged into the WD-40, about 90% of the defects disappeared! However, no surface separation had resulted. Furthermore, the WD-40 did not change in any observeable manner, which would have indicated that it had dissolved something. However, when I removed the quarter from the WD-40 and rubbed the WD-40 off of it with a paper towel, I observed that all of the defects returned as before! I repeated this experiment 4 more times, each time using fresh WD-40, and each time getting the same results: About 90% disappearance of the observed defects while submerged in the WD-40, and the full return of the defects after rub-drying the WD-40 off! The best I can figure is that the WD-40 has some kind of optical or chemical properties not understood by me that somehow makes it possible to visibly look beneath the overstrike. There was about a 75% temporary disappearance of the defects when I later immersed the quarter in an acetone finger nail polish remover. No effect was observed on the defects when it was immersed in reverse osmosis water.

I should also emphasize that the thickness of the Gargoyle Quarter is identical to that of normal quarters when measured with a micrometer, and it stacks up with other quarters perfectly normally with no observed gaps, lumpiness, sunken areas, or unevenness, and that before photographing the Gargoyle Quarter under my microscope camera, I had already cleaned it off with reverse osmosis water and a paper towel and observed and felt no difference in surface texture than normal quarters. Also, I did submerge the Gargoyle Quarter in finger nail polish remover with acetone for 3+ days, and it did not remove the defects.

After I had reported that both the WD-40 and acetone treatments failed to remove their apparently imagined glue job on the Gargoyle Quarter, a couple of coin error experts then claimed that since these treatments failed to remove their claimed glue, adhesive, cement or plastic held-on layer from my quarter, that the cement must be epoxy instead. They stated that to remove their now-claimed epoxy held-on layer, I was to use a soldering iron, which would melt the epoxy and cause it to turn into a powder and then be easily observed and removed. So I then took a 90-watt soldering iron and held it onto the obverse side center of my quarter for 15 full minutes. While the entire quarter got so hot that it scorched the piece of wood it was resting on, there was no indication of any epoxy or any other unusual material on the quarter's surface, and the defects remained as before.

I was then told by the coin error experts that unless I would send them the coin and pay for an evaluation, they had nothing more to contribute to analyzing my quarter. I again emphasized to them, but to no avail, that if a person were to ask to view my coin in Albuquerque at no expense to me and with the proviso of providing me a report, and had the credentials of a coin error expert, I would love to arrange for such an evaluation done under my scrutiny, and would charge the evaluator nothing. Clearly, if the Gargoyle Quarter is a unique and priceless artifact, I am not just going to send it off to anybody. That is the last I have heard from any of them!

Therefore, whatever the surface of the Gargoyle Quarter is - it feels just like and appears just a normal quarter - it is now reasonable to believe that it can't be any glue, epoxy cement, other cement, adhesive or plastic held-on layer. However, focusing on what material or stamping process caused the defects on the quarter may be entirely missing the point. On one hand, for a person to have intentionally made these specific errors would have required a very high level of artistic skills, technical expertise, precision and time, and it is unreasonable to believe that anyone would undertake the effort - unless the purpose of the defects were to intentionally convey some type of message or warning, or hide some type of secret communications, or to in some way sabotage our money by scaring people into not using coins - virtually ruling out intentional defects for prank purposes. On the other hand, the probability that such errors randomly occurred by pure accident would practically defy the laws of probability - not far off from sitting down a chimp in front of a typewriter and having him produce Hamlet from random keystrokes. If the defects were intentional as they certainly appear to be, our greatest concerns by far should be about who or what is behind the defects and their motives, and leave the investigators to determine for historical or legal purposes whether the defects were caused by multi-strikes at the mint or some weird after-mint resurfacing of the quarter.

With its weird images and inexplicable construction, could the Gargoyle Quarter be some kind of alien message, ominous alien warning, alien intervention, or of a supernatural origin? Or some kind of Government sabotage of our money, Government secret code, Government trickery, or ominous Government warning?

My Experience with the Yahoo! Newsgroup on Coin Errors

     In my sincere efforts to get to the bottom of my Gargoyle Quarter mystery, one of the things I did was to join the Yahoo! Coin Error Newsgroup to query their 'experts' about my quarter. You will find that I have made a great effort to photograph and document my coin. These 'experts' first stated that my coin was probably a "glue job," and that if I would just subject it to an acetone bath, I would certainly prove that to myself. So I subjected my coin to not only a 3+ day acetone bath, but also to a WD-40 bath, but the defects remained. These 'experts' then "clarified" their suggestions, and stated that their claimed "glue" was probably epoxy and since the acetone would not work on epoxy, that I should apply a hot soldering iron to burn off the epoxy to expose its presence. So I again bowed to their wishes and subjected my coin to a hot 90 watt soldering iron for 15 minutes. Still, the defects remained. They then "clarified" again by stating that their claimed "glue" was probably of a type that was impervious to both acetone AND high heat, but of course could not specify which glue that might be! I then inquired to them that out of curiousity how prevalent was coin "glue jobs" or were they basically error coin experts' imaginations or mythology. I got no answer there! During this back-and-forth process, they increasingly applied pressure on me to send my coin to one of their members and to pay for his evaluation. Up to then, I thought that this Newsgroup was non-commercial, but it sure seemed very commercial to me. I had repeatedly refused to mail them my coin because I was not about to mail to strangers an item that in my view could be worth a very great amount of money. No one in their right mind would do that. Would you? Finally, one of them pulled off his mask to reveal his real self and viciously accused me of being a "crackpot" trying to hoax the group because I had refused to mail my coin to one of them. The group Moderator not only permitted the publication on their Newsgroup of this unfounded, asinine and slanderous attack but even commented on it. I then replied with:

"I guess when you can't explain something, you respond by verbally attacking them. Be advised:
                      I HAVE NEVER REFUSED TO LET A COIN ERROR EXPERT EVALUATE MY GARGOYLE QUARTER - SO STOP IMPLYING THAT! I have refused to send my quarter to any stranger in the mail - but I made it crystal clear that I was willing to allow a person with good credentials to evaluate my quarter in a place I designated in Albuquerque at their expense but of no charge to them. Only a real "crackpot" would send anything of possibly great value in the mail to a complete stranger, and it is unreasonable for anyone to expect him/her to do that or to demean him/her for refusing to mail to strangers a possibly very valuable error coin.
                      You questioned my motives and personally slandered me. Well, you asked for it. Your totally uncalled for and unjustified ad hominem attack against me has convinced me that you and probably other experts on this discussion group are probably making a tidy profit by conjoling people into sending you all their valuable error coins, then declaring them fakes, returning them their "restored" coins and pocketing the ones of great value that they have sent you, while laughing all the way to the bank. There is no other explanation I find reasonable for your gratuitous personal attack against me and being permitted on this Group.
                      I tell you what, why don't you (or anyone of these other experts criticizing me for not mailing them my coin) to send me an item of yours worth say $10,000 for me to evaluate its authenticity. No, you won't do that? Could the only explanation be that you are nothing but another jerk-off crackpot and everything you claim to be worth $10,000 are really fakes, which of course you refuse to send for fear of being exposed?
                      You are the one who should be kicked off this Group if indeed this group consists of any honest error coin experts at all. Or perhaps the rest are like you but wearing sheep's clothing. You have no right to accuse me of anything, and any honest Group is no place for your kind of stupid, unfounded, gratuitous, slanderous insults. Clear to me, your credibility is zero. Clear to me, you are coming across as a person so greedy that you have moved on from using the usual finesse tactics to resorting to intimidating personal attacks to obtain people's error coins.

           John J. Williams"

The Moderator then immediately not only deleted my post but my entire thread! Again, until I posted my reply, the Moderator never deleted the unfounded attack against me, but immediately deleted me when I had the audacity to frankly reply with what I clearly believe to be the truth. Hmmm. It seems to me that these types of groups exist for one and only one real purpose: To con and intimidate people out of their valuable coins - if you are not fast enough in turning over your valuables to them or question them in any manner about obediently doing so, they then personally, viciously and slanderously attack you - if you even think about replying to defend yourself, they delete you.

Three additional observations about this Newsgroup: (1) Members repeatedly "suggested" that I send my quarter for evaluation - not to them - but to someone else in the Newsgroup. Clearly, Federal law states that if a person receives an unsolicited item in the mail sent to him/her intentionally - regardless of how valuable or if sent by Registered Mail - he/she may keep that item as an outright free gift. Since this third person did not himself/herself request the coin, he/she could have legally kept it for free. (2) At no time did anyone state what the evaluation fee would be. One of the things you fast learn to avoid in this life are contracts where the ultimate cost is not revealed to you until after you enter the contract. (3) At no time did anyone present to me any hard credentials as to the level of coin expertise of themselves or anyone else they appeared to know on this Newsgroup. Nor even the faintest claims as to reputation for honesty and fair dealing. For all I know, (A) They could all be real coin experts, or (B) They could all be convicted felons who spent an hour studying up on coin defects. Or some could be (A) and some could be (B). Yet, I was supposed to send these total strangers a possibly priceless coin?! Hmmm.

If you, too, have had any bad experience with this Newsgroup, please let me know. That's my personal opinion, folks.

DO YOU HAVE A SIMILAR COIN?: If you have a coin with weird defects similar to mine, please take a photograph of it (both sides and all areas). If you do not have a microscope camera, use a high-quality 35 mm camera, macro lens, the highest resolution possible film, and excellent halogen (not incandescent) lighting. All shots should be extremely still and focused. Then send me the negatives and positives so I can put them under my microscope camera and take decent highly magnified shots. If I feel that your coin is indeed comparable to mine or of about an equally interesting find, I will then provide you a written report at no cost to you based on my lay observations. These conditions fully apply: (1) I may use any or all of the images royalty-free personally and/or commercially. (2) You will charge me nothing for all of your time, efforts, costs and expenses for taking and providing me your images. (3) I take no responsibility for anything anyone sends me - please don't send me the coin itself or any negatives or positives you can't spare (solution: take duplicate shots or have duplicate negatives and/or positives made). However, if you do send me the coin (at your own risk), I will do my best to return it to you in the condition it arrived in (unless you explicitly state in writing, I will not subject your coin to any authenticity test or treatment).

This is Not the Only Weird Find I've Made
