Another couple of the cup style stamped Lincoln Cents...

On both of these I have yet to research the symbolism of the crown on the first coin and the three triangles on the second.








EDIT: Looks like the crown is from the York Rite Masons. It is called the Knight York Cross of Honor.

The rectangle on top of the three triangles I don't know. Triangles seem to be a common theme in Masonic symbolism but I can't put my finger on that particular design.

Thank you everyone.

Here is a gift sent to me by Hondo. Very kind and appreciated. Thank you.

7-20-69. The day that "One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind." was broadcast around the globe.

NASA Apollo 11 lunar module carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin lands on the surface of the Moon. Seven hours later Armstrong becomes the first person to step on the moon at 10:56 p.m. EDT, Aldrin joins him shortly after. Michael Collins remains in orbit in the command module.

Looks like a very detailed and ornate flower stamp to me. Any other ideas?

I always wondered what it would have been like to be sitting moon surface for 7 hours in the Lunar Module knowing you would be walking on the moon as the first man. So close to the biggest scientific achievement in human history, you can see the moon surface out your window, and yet have all the safety checks etc. to go through. That had to be the longest 7 hours anyone has ever spent!


Then there was MIke Collins. All possible communication with any living being totally shut off and being the furthest away from humanity anyone had ever been during his flights around the back side of the moon. I think that is the ultimate definition in modern times of he word lonely!

Very nice looking flower.
