I was wondering has anyone else noticed the symbols in the fields on the obverse side?

Also on George Washington's neck under magnification is the symbol 32°, in the field to the right of back of GW head is skull and bones symbol, seeing eye symbols in pyramid and masons compass on eagles chest. Quarter has other many small faces, as of this editing there are 28 recognizable Masonic symbols total found so far on the original 1932 Washington quarter

I have never heard of this.
I doubt that any TPG would remove any part of a coins design.

Call me a skeptic, but this looks to be a case of Wikipedia vandalism. The masonic symbols entry is from two weeks ago, by a contributor who's only entry on the wiki is that one, and there are no sources cited.

"Craige44" and "Craig E. Ennis" are way too similar to be coincidental. The OP has apparently maliciously altered John Flanagan's Wikipedia entry with fantastical tales of nutjobbery regarding a coin that does not exist except in the mind of lunar chiroptera

I agree with Atlas642. It's the latest edit, pretty recent, with no citations and by a one-time anonymous editor. I think I'll undo that edit.

I don't buy it, but who would care if there were Masonic symbols - it would actually be appropriate. Washington was certainly a prominent and proud Freemason.

Hey, they updated the wikipedia page. No more masonry "applesauce".

Reminds me of the time my highschool biology teacher. He doesn't want kids to use Wikipedia as a research source and would tell us that anyone could go on there and type whatever (and what not). To really hit this point home, he actually went on wikipedia and deliberately added a fake disease to a certain page, which was basically his last name and "-itis".

It took the wikipedia people about 72 hours to take it down and I can only imagine how many students he fooled.
