Quote: What does it mean if it is a maverick? Maverick tokens are ones that can't or haven't yet been attributed to a particular person or business. The C.A. SPEAR counterstamp, along with the Masonic symbol, is similar to that found on an early tool, a wood plane, which makes the attribution most probable.

Are there any other 'symbols' such as the Masonic stamp that are found repeatedly in pre-1900 counterstamps? I've kind of made the logical step that the Masonic stamps are the grandfathers of the more modern novelty Lincoln Cent counterstamps. Do you think I'm far off?

The Masonic symbols are but one of many nineteenth century pictorial counterstamps. There are earlier ones, forebears, if you will. I'll post some other pictorial pieces in the days ahead.
