MASONIC ISSUE APPEARANCE/CONDITION:
Almost Uncirculated+ — Masonic “Shekel”
*A unique, problem-free example of this extremely rare issue. Masonic shekels, particularly those struck in silver, are very rare. Additionally, high grades are scarcely seen due to these being issued to Masons that held them for their entire lives. — Simply having a problem-free example makes this piece even rarer.*
MASONIC ISSUE BACKGROUND:
Issued in recognition of the Masonic Chapter from Florence, Colorado Chapter #35. Struck in sterling silver and dated 1902. — Florence issues appear to be extremely rare. TokenCatalog has this silver shekel listed and nothing else.
