Just a few of the hundreds of what I call "Mutilated Coins"...

 

That is unusual and interesting!

 

G= GEOMETRY

 

That's one example! What else?

I have a hard time imagining there are not masons who are coin collectors. G stands for God

 

I'd like to get some of the Apollo coins in roll finds, I have dozens of Masonic c/s and Kennedy.

 

My only Masonic coin.

 

That is a (Masonic) York Rite Chapter Penny .. usually has the Chapter No. inscribed in the middle.

 

I couldn't find the photo of the other side, but it is from a Masonic Chapter in Winthrop Mass. Dated 1889, I believe.

 

it would be typical to have the Chapter's Charted Date Shown but that should not be construed as the age of this Penny or mint date. Is there anything on the other side indicating Winthrop Mass?

 

That's great but what did you give her in return?

 

Masons built the pyramids...

 

I got this one last week

 

If memory serves, the G stands for "grand architect". The Masonic representation of each Mason's personal idea a God, or creator of the universe, or what have you. I don't thing you have to subscribe to a specific spiritual ideology, you just have to subscribe to one.

Disclaimer: not from a Masonic family, I just once asked a friend who was one.

 

Cool I've been hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of cents and have yet to fins a mason cent.

 

I would like to get one of the masonic ones for my brother.

 

I'm sure some are available on eBay I just like to try and find stuff like this rather than buy it
