Found this at an older (1900ish) farm house. I am guessing it is masonic. It has the marks of an anchor, lion, and lower case "e" on the reverse. Its a few mm larger than a quarter. Any info on the maker marks would be appreciated. Also found a 1927 SLQ, a couple of rosies and a dozen wheaties. There is about 4 or 5 acres of land and this was our first trip out there, so plenty of hunting left. My hunting partner also popped out a 1941 Walker and a 1952 Franklin. Two first for him.

Very nice, Masons would love to see that pin. Nice coin as well. Looks like the farm is a good one.

Thanks Tinpan, I was thinking 1905, but forgot to figure in 1900.

If your buddy doesn't want the Franklin, I'll take it off his hands. ;D

Wow! It looks like you guys found a great spot. The coins alone are worth it...but the masonic piece would be a real dream come true. I cant wait to recover a masonic piece that is half as cool! Keep up the Good work...I look forward to seeing what else you guys pull ouy of there. Congrats once again!
