I got this one due to it being close to home. I like the triangles and L

 

Fun stuff.

 

The triangles and letter are the mark of the person that was given the coin. Some chapters did it and some didn't

 

My favorite Masonic Penny is this one as I lived in Berkeley at one time:


Masonic Penny Berkeley California RAM Chapter 92
Bronze, 31mm, 9.15gm
Obverse: BERKELEY CHAPTER No. 92 R.A.M. / CALIFORNIA / University of California Greek Theatre
Reverse: CHARTERED APRIL 18, 1906 / ONE PENNY / HTWSSTKS emblem

The theatre design on the coin is unique to the chapter as most Masonic pennies had generic designs.

The charter date of April 18, 1906 is the date of a most interesting lodge meeting in San Francisco.

 

I saw one just like Alurid posted above in an antique store for $20.00 earlier this week. Nice but overpriced.

 

Was it also from Bath, Maine? Home of the Navy ship builders.
I paid $3 for mine, from a dealer who treats me very good.
Token # TC-401147.

 

This one was produced by Whitehead-Hoag. I am not sure if they are still around or not. I have not been able to find info on this one. 8.78g x 29mm.

 

Local to PA

 

But isn't PA the Keystone State?
One more Keystone.

 

Oooh, well not exactly Masonic, I think, but along the same lines.

Knights of Pythias

 

Here is the most interesting one I have so far, Appears to be silver and about the size of a quarter and Octagon in shape.

 

I have a small number of Masonic pieces and some other fraternal issues, but this one is unusual. Not sure how it was made, but it has an interesting look to it. The double image on the reverse is cool.

Yes it is.

 

Here’s a Half Cent that I’ve posted before, with what appears to be a Masonic symbol carved into Liberty’s cheek. It was Paddy54’s sharp eye that picked it out.

 

That's a nice one, longnine. High quality engraving for sure.

A couple years ago this or something very similar was still available for purchase at the gift shop located at the George Washington Memorial Masonic Temple in Alexandria Virginia. As I recall they weren't very expensive, maybe a buck or two.
