[QUOTE="krispy, post: 628263, member: 19065"]Cool! Thanks for posting this [URL="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/members/sonlarson/"]sonlarson[/URL]! I like the diversity of punches, distortion and such on these counter-stamped Mason-cents. It's interesting to note that in general, the counter-stamp seems to be placed on the lower obverse side at the 6 o'clock position as a preferred location and that each of these dates has a similar yet different style die(?) used to stamp the Masonic symbol. +++ So far we have seen the following Lincoln Masonic Cents pictured on this particular thread, (there are others floating around on other threads): • 1937 • 1953 • 1955-D ...and one oddity that deviates from the Lincoln-planchet, in the form of a worn "Modern Masonic "Penny" or token based on a Roman coin Issued by the Royal Arch Masons, St. Louis, Missouri"[/QUOTE]
