There are collectors of their materiel both in and out of the group. Being of fairly recent vintage. It still has some value. Any more information you are told and you would then have to be eliminated! Report this Post to the Staff
scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 08:43 am Haha eliminated... spoken like a member of the secret society. Lol. I have been trying to figure out how I came to have this token all night... I believe it was my grandpa's as he was a freemason for decades and all my people are from Virginia. So with your info.. it all fits. Simply a ceremonial token on their 200th anniversary. Thank you for the reply circus. Report this Post to the Staff
Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 10/03/2014 05:46 am Nope not a member, was asked one of their standard ones to find out if you are a member? Being in my 20's and a sailor, My answer was some what smart*** The question was Do you trod the path? My answer was Nope I always fly first class! The book store owner looked at me like I kicked him in the groin and stole his wife. Spent too many years years building props and tricks for the Shrine Clowns.

stampvirgin Pillar of the Community United States 1247 Posts	Posted 10/03/2014 12:46 pm It is a simple token as some one pointed out, to mark the 200th anniversary. Other then the metal content, it is not worth much. < $1.00. That particular coin is commonplace. They were minted and given out to masons, friends of masons and masons from other jurisdictions. I think I am the only self confessed Free Mason on this site. Report this Post to the Staff
