A couple of posts ago I was searching for information on a mystery image on a pressed LMC:  Surprisingly I just received in the mail a small lot that I purchased and lo-and-behold this was in it:   Same image only seems to be holding a scimitar. Still on the hunt for information. Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide. I've spent a couple of hours on my phone looking. Now that I have the laptop out maybe I'll use it this morning to search. The hunt is on.  Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

The number of different counterstamps is amazing. Was this a particular thing for USA as most examples seem to be on USA coins?

Dennman. Huh. I see that now that you mention it. Thank you. Don't know what I was thinking there. Looks like the other one I had posted above is just the crescent moon part of the Shriner's emblem upside down as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShrinersEdit: Looking back at the top example I see that the sword is present, it's just tucked behind the crescent and not out in the open.

This was an elusive symbol to find a meaning of. The only place I could find a reference to it was in this municipal website for Grove, Oklahoma and I saw a broach with the same design. It is of a cross and a shepherd's hook. It is the symbol for the White Shrine of Jerusalem.
