Topekaguy Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 09/12/2019 10:36 pm All, Came across an oddity to me. It is a 1959 D Wheat penny with an extremely clear Freemason punch. Just curious if anyone has seen something like this before? Thanks TG * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title. Titles are important! * Report this Post to the Staff
