Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 8:28 pm Ok, has anyone seen these before? I was like "what is this a Freemason coin" then I read the roman numeral date so it has to be a bicentennial thing. Only identifiers are "sterling & 307" on the rim. It kinda screams franklin mint to me though but dosent FM identify themselves on the rims as well. Your thoughts? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 07:50 am MDCCLXXVI is 1776 (at the base of the pyramid). I tend to think it's bicentennial related, but just a guess. Edited by mackwork 04/26/2015 07:52 am Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 09:51 am Ya, noticed that first off after thinking mason. Forgot to mention. This is a tuffy but it has to be either bicentennial or a dollar bill effigy coin form? And is that 307 a mintage in series number out of X or a manufacturing ID tag?

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 10:44 am What's found on the dollar bill is the Great Seal of the United States (both sides). That's all that's featured on this medal. Report this Post to the Staff
mgillette Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 10:58 am Google image search "Great Seal of the United States Token" or "Great Seal of the United States Coin" and you will find others - but I can't tell you anything about who minted it when or where - it is not masonic - believe me, I would be interested if it was.

mgillette Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 1:12 pm Cascade - Just took a peek. Very cool York Rite Knights Templar piece. Up in CA they call the Templar "lodges" Preceptories, down here they are Commanderies. Report this Post to the Staff
