Unlike regular U.S. government issued cents, these are pennies, Masonic Chapter Pennies for the full name, but also known as a Mark Penny or...

Your most welcome gofy. I'll be glad to try and help if you have any other tokens/medals that you are not familiar with.
Sorry for the confusion. To key in all of the description wording to determine an id can be lengthy and time consuming. I just entered enough in...
That indicates that you have the Baker 246A, same as the slab you found. The obverse (Washington) of Baker 246A is the same obverse as Baker 245....
