<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 629001, member: 19065&quot;]Thanks Tim. The Lincoln cents with Masonic counter-stamps are still readily available online on Masonic supply websites. They are generally just a novelty pocket coin yet could represent the coin with the &#039;Mark&#039; of a Mason given to them when one is made a Mason.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always admired and been intrigued by traditional Masonic regalia, lodge banners for one, in their handmade quality and simple iconic forms to the symbols on them (esp. the more rudimentary ones you come across in antique stores), the tradition of metal work and linking of symbols and established society is fundamental too. The group has never seemed subversive or mystical in the least bit to me, rather reassuring in its lineage and parallel to how the symbols Masons used and applied to monetary designs or reflected in urban planning, wherever they exist, represent a continuity over time and it is no mystery to know the early American Mason&#039;s were responsible for imbibing a solid design foundation to much of America&#039;s coin and currency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
