Engraved Fraternal Piece Fashioned out of an 1854-Dated Liberty Seated Quarter. The reverse of the host coin depicts a raised gold pictorial of three rings with a few flowers and flourishes in the smoother fields. An intact and working pinback is mounted on the obverse of the coin. The three linked rings are the symbol of the Odd Fellows Society, an international fraternity whose first lodges were opened in London in 1730. Lodges were first chartered in the United States starting in 1819, with the American lodges becoming independent from the British in 1842.From the Steve M. Tompkins Collection.
