Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 05/28/2021 9:14 pm @lady, not a mint error, but rather a counterstamp from the Free Masons.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21631 Posts	Posted 05/28/2021 9:14 pm Not an error.That is a Masons counterstamp. Done after the coin left the mint. Technically it is damage. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/28/2021 10:31 pm Some people collect counter stamped coins, but to the rest of us, numismatically it's just damage. Certainly not a mint error, just post mint damage ( PMD). Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/29/2021 10:32 am Would certainly be a strange mint error if a masonic symbol was placed on the coin by the US mint lol. Just a penny that someone modified after it was in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
