[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 6592725, member: 105098"]I have a guess. a petitioner token/temporary token thats a freemason penny for Texas lodge 456. Hill City lodge #456 was chartered in 1876. it may be a placeholder to identify the petitioners that haven't finished their degrees that people aren't all familiar with. if it was a permanent freemason mark penny it would be much more elaborate usually have a keystone and be more detailed, and likely engraved by the receiver/owner. All speculation of course. that rabbit would need to be chased and see if it could even be confirmed, you aren't likely to call the lodge or knock on the door and get an answer unless extremely lucky and in the right place at the right time. could also be an old farm pickers check, but very basic also, maybe numbered for some reason, and the horseshoe for an anti-counterfeiting measure? this type of thing, unless it's abundantly clear on the token itself, or someone KNOWS already, what it was for might be lost to time. could be a free play token for a jukebox somewhere in the U.S. from 100 years ago for all we know.[/QUOTE]
