    My Masonic penny: And my write-up of what I was able to find about it. Masonic Penny San Mateo copy.jpeg
    "HTWSSTKS" allegedly stands for: "Hiram, Tyrian, Widow’s Son, Sent to King Solomon." Refers to 2 Chronicles, 2:13-14.

    "13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's, 14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father."

    I like the Masonic coins also. Here are a few pics of 4 for sure but I'm not sure if the 5th is Masonic or not. Can anyone help identify? The first 2 are obverse only and the last 3 are both obv. and rev. 20200130_034220[3934].jpg 20200130_034318[3935].jpg 20200130_034357[3936].jpg 20200130_034410[3937].jpg 20200130_034449[3938].jpg 20200130_034508[3939].jpg 20200130_034641[3940].jpg 20200130_034700[3941].jpg

    This post isn't meant to offend anybody but statement of Historical Fact
    Your 5th coin is most differently not a Masonic coin. It is A KKK members token. The give away is the lettering on it and One Country, One Flag, One language on the reverse. Here is a link to numista https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces128517.html
    I have come a cross a number of them in the assorted bulk buys. your is from like it says 1922, Last one I sold to a Black history educator who says it is important historical item so future people can better understand the past as not to let it repeat. I sold it for $20.00 to him As most KKK collectors will pay more.
