[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3275198, member: 99642"]I was thinking more Native American than scout , [B][I]but[/I][/B] did offer the possibility of a Native American, who happened to be a Boy Scout, in England, on Jamboree, after 1939, acquiring the coin, bringing it back to the States with him, and, while sitting around with nothing better to do, taking a hammer and punches, that were available and meaningful to him, and marking the coin with three icons that were most familiar to him and his tribe. (Whew) All three symbols were/are very meaningful to Native Americans, especially the Navajo and the Hopi. Now, to my thinking, I believe we can safely rule out the Nazi Germany theory, and probably, even the Boy Scout theory, but I just don't think we can, in any way, rule out the Native American theory. After all, the only connection to all three symbols that I can think of [I][B]is [/B][/I]the Native American one. Now, just for fun, let's imagine this coin passed through many hands, three of whom were a Nazi, a Boy Scout, and a Navajo Indian. Sounds like the start of a joke. lol[/QUOTE]
