<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 629321, member: 19065"]The 1937 is not carved down. It's flattened or even beveled from the counter-stamp pressure exerted to imprint the Masonic design just as the others shown on this thread. Yes, you can carve such a thing, as I also stated by a skill hand and laborious effort, but the evidence is against it in the case of Masonic pennies, as they are counter-stamped. In the '55 you can even see how the counter-stamp seems to have slid to the 5 o'clock position during the stamping from uneven pressure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
