Very nice!

At first glance it looked like a weird pipe smoking!

@Coinfrog...Glad you liked it. If you liked it because it was of the Shriner's organization here are a couple of others that are my favorites...

Lastly is this 2020LSC. It was a modern fundraising counter stamp. Something I haven't seen before.

Nice examples. I like the fundraising one.

@Earl42

To kind of put it in perspective how commonplace the Masonic counter stamped LWC and LMCs used to be I have an entire Whitman album... that's 7 pages with 36 holes per page full of them. When bored I will try to find matching stamps. I have found a couple of dozen probable matches. Some spanning several years.

Wow...I never would have thought. Of course I do not search through a lot of pennies myself, but all I even found was an anchor counterstamp on a 1941. I have no idea where it is though :(

The other counterstamped coins I have found are the Kennedy facing Lincoln counterstamps on half dollars. But...I used to do a lot of roll searching halves.
