Scottish Rite Double Headed Eagle Masonic counter stamp. . . According to Robert Ambelain, the Primitive Scottish Rite was practiced by the military Jacobite Lodges, founded by exiled Scottish and Irish Jacobite Jacobitism was a largely 17th- and 18th-century movement that supported the restoration of the senior line of the House of Stuart to the British throne. The name is derived from Jacobus, the Latin version of James. followers of the deposed Stuart King, James II of England (James VII of Scotland). The Lodges' soldiers were widely numbered enough in 1725 to form a "Very Old and Honorable Society of Freemasons in the Kingdom of France." Their rituals were introduced to Marseille in 1751 by Georges de Wallnon (or Waldon), founder of the Lodge Saint Jean d'ecosse de Marseille. They would also greatly inspire the rite of the Rite of Strict Observance and Scottish Rectified Rite. The motto of the Primitive Scottish Rite is "Primigenius More Majorem." This is the lineage claimed for the current, "Awakened," Primitive Scottish Rite by Robert Ambelain in 1985.

Helder will be happy you did not call it a Buffalo. Yeah...but close to 20 million people in a specific state close to Canada (who I consider THE experts on the subject) are happy I did.

It's just a counter stamp. Forum rules say no political commentary. So please just look and scroll on.

Chafemasterj is thinking this is a representation of President Trump. But I am not sure b/c it looks like the counterstamp has a beard? Lighting making it look this way?

Another Lotus counter stamp. . .  Here is the one I posted a couple of weeks ago. I thought it unlikely that someone would counter stamp a lotus flower not once but two different people did.

I think duplicate Lotus CS's is one of those things that seems not to make sense but does. Many moons ago in college one of my math professors was discussing probability of things like this. It was a small class of around 30 people. He predicted we would have at least 2 people in the class with the same birthday. We had three. I used to do the same with my kids in all my math classes every year. It never failed. The other (ahem) side of the coin: Our minds cannot grasp staggeringly large numbers. But anyway...we have a total of 350,000,000 Americans (assuming a portion of Americans are the ones making the CS's on your coins), if we narrow that number down to (who knows how many?) people keep the huge number of CS punch-making companies in business, it would seem at least there would be two favoring a lotus? Well...actually...thanks to you..we KNOW there are, and so now we have a verifiable and historical data point contribution to statistical analysis from our CFF member chafemastrj
