So my brother in law asked me about some coins he got from his grandmother and aside from some ikes, a Kennedy half, and a Peace dollar, he also had this.

No clue what the punched little mark is for, sorry for the bad pictures I am pretty sure it is the beach sunlight since we on vacation. Any insight would be awesome! I am 99.99% sure it isn't rare or anything but pretty cool and I know some on the forum.collects these sort of coins.thanks all!

The picture of the obverse is too blurry and too far away to be sure but I think I see what looks like a masonic symbol?

I can't see it well enough but the shape is similar to a Masonic symbol.

Very cool coin though! I am unsure is masons did this or if someone just put a masonic symbol on it. I have seen a few before.
