Updated July 29th 2021:Hello Friends,
To date I have made and sold now more than 700 ‘71 Quarters for fans of the late Edward Van Halen. Ten days ago I ran out of ‘71 quarters for the first time since starting this on Dec 6, 2020. I have 2 suppliers that I have purchase quarters from in bulk but because of the national coin shortage it has become increasingly difficult to find them. How difficult? I decided to take matters into my own hands so I ordered 0 worth (or 3400 quarters) from mine and my girlfriend banks. My very close friend with commercial laundry in his rentals supplied me with 0 worth of quarters. (2800 quarters)
The 6200 quarters yielded just SIX TOTAL ‘71’s (5 D’s) compared to more than 25 of each 1970 and 1972. (Stopped at 25 because it was slowing me down)
AS Of JULY 29th 2021 I HAVE ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF ‘71 D QUARTERS. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN I WILL BE GETTING MORE SO PLEASE DO NOT WAIT.
If you want a rougher more beat up quarter or have something specific in mind please ask. Your questions are welcome.
Each buyer will receive:
- 1 authentic 1971 Washington quarter dollar modified (with notch on outside edge) to replicate the one found on Eddie Van Halen’s iconic “Frankenstrat” plus 2 relic’d screws.
- 2 proper size relic’d eye screws
- 2 proper size solid brass swivel snap hooks
Why buy?
Quarter: The United Stated Mint encountered several issues throughout the minting process of the 1971 Washington quarter dollar. This resulted in a great many 1971 quarters being destroyed by order of the US Treasury prior to being circulated. Just one third the typical amount of 1971 quarters made it into circulation compared with other years of the era.
Eddie’s passing and the release of the ‘20 EVH Frankie have recently increased demand for ‘71 quarters.
Many people looking to add a ‘71 quarter to their ‘20 Frankie or custom build tribute are unaware of their scarcity and discover them to be quite difficult to find. There are also those who are fortunate to find one. However a great many discover that replicating the features of the Frankenstrat quarter is quite difficult without the proper tools, process and technique.
Eye screws/ snap hooks:
The EVH branded sets are discontinued and were . The dimensions were taken from my set and are guaranteed to fit any EVH Strap. Some online are selling these parts that are not relic’d, are the wrong size and or of poor quality. The snap hooks I use are SOLID BRASS! They’re not cheap. They are holding your guitar and mine too. This modification needs to support the weight of your guitar so proper installation is imperative.
(I STRONGLY RECOMMEND HAVING THE EYE SCREWS INSTALLED BY PROFESSIONAL OR GUIDANCE AT A MINIMUM)
Before you buy check out my feedback.
I have 100% buyer satisfaction across multiple selling platforms. Satisfied buyers from 18 countries have purchased more than 700 Frankenstrat quarters from me to date. It is both humbling and an honor each time I’m chosen to contribute to these iconic guitars. Therefore I take this very seriously because I understand to many this guitar is a cherished and prized possession.
Warmest Regards and rock on!
