I've read that every Shriner is a Mason but every Mason is not a Shriner. Well, this Lincoln Cent is both.

I also think I stumbled across the first time I'm pretty confident that the same stamp was used on two different older coins.

Might be the same punch, can't be sure, but if it isn't it is very close.

Nice coins!

You definitely are amassing a serious collection of counterstamps. Can we get a picture of all of them together?
Rest in Peace
