@chafe - very cool on the Masonic albums and the Littleton OLP (Original Littleton Packaging  ). Great stuff! @moose59 - almost to chafe's point... a Kennedy Looking at Lincoln and a Masonic. Seems that these 2 general "designs" make up a significant percentage of counterstamps out there.

Here's an interesting large Masonic counterstamp on the reverse of a 1953D LWC...

Looks like someone back in the day hit a LWC with a jeweler's stamp...

Double sided Shriner's and Masonic counterstamp. Wish I knew more about the relationship between the Shriners and the Masons. I've seen multiple stamped LMCs where one side is the iconic Masonic Compass and Square and the other side has the Shriner's emblem emblazoned on it.

Here is an interesting one. I found a similar one about a year ago but with a mini Roosevelt dime instead of the mini LMC. Pictures of both...

Those are cool. Are they drilled out and wedged in there?

Quote: Are they drilled out and wedged in there? I think so. Looks like a hole was carefully drilled and the mini one was pressed in.

Speaking of counterstamped Lincoln cents being found in original packaging I just purchased these on ebay. I`ve never heard of B-Brand until I ran across these. If I had to guess I`d say that B-Brand got these from Littleton and packaged them for sale but that is just a guess. Lincoln Speaks: Left to right "GRANT TAKES RICHMOND" "WAR OR PEACE" "FOUR SCORE AND..."  Lincoln Smokes... Pipe and cigar
