If someone could prehaps give a little history and a rough value of the coin I would appreciate it. Identified - moved to Token and Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Siuol Valued Member United States 273 Posts	Posted 08/16/2009 11:05 pm Thanks for the info. I was really curious about what the front of the coin meant. I have an uncle who is a mason so I guess I will see if he wants it. Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 08/17/2009 01:04 am The R.A.M. stands for Royal Arch Mason (a bit of an anachronism to me). They were started in the 1860s to counter the established Masonic Order many of whose Lodges were anti-Union at that time. Report this Post to the Staff

Unfortunately, the pics there have expired. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
