I found a 1964 penny tonight with a pentagram etched on it; You can see little details etched in the center of the pentagram and on each point of the pentagram. I googled it and the symbol is the seal of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Has anyone else found these?

In probably 500 or so dollars I sorted in pennies a few years ago I found two wild indians, a handful of plastic pennies, a fake 1943 copper wheat cent, and probably 5-6 really cool counterstamped, star pennies, and other misc. They were about as fun as finding the indians. I kept them all because in the end they were the treasures. Not to mention the dimes you find in the rolls from time to time :-)
