Got this coin in some stuff from my grandfathers estate. I know that it is masonic but thought that it was an unusual form of stamping on the coin.

guess is should have previewed the post sorry about the blurry pic but you still get the idea....

The 'counterstamp' appears to be raised? Is it? Or is it an 'added' emblem? Cheers, RickO

it is raised there is a big dent on the reverse to match the front.

Never have seen one like that before. Can you post a pic of the reverse? I'd love to see it. Neat little item!

Here is a shot of the reverse

I've started a bit of a collection of these counterstamped Lincolns, that is one I haven't seen yet.

OK, now that you showed the dent this coin became really interesting.
