Wondering if this marking is on purpose?

[Purplegirl61]

I should probably know better to ask ,but I am am going to anyhow. I found this recently and wondered if this is a coin that purposely got stamped with whatever this G means o. The front? If I shouldn’t of asked, I apologize.

Yes it was on purpose. Not done at the mint. Its a counterstamp of a Freemasons symbol. Lots of people collect them but it is PMD. Theres countless numbers of different symbols. I would keep it.

Meaning of the G? Theres plenty of guesses but I think it could be many different things. Only a Freemason would know and probably wouldnt tell you if you met one. They are very secret.

Good advice. Also, it's a free means of advertisement promotion in a way. People find them and start asking questions. They may get new members.
To me, this method is a bit more acceptable, rather than someone hammering their name or initials into the coin.

I've always enjoyed finding and keeping counterstamped Lincolns. I've seen a lot of different ones over the years. Baseball, politics, states, companies, etc. They are fun but that's about it.
