History & Rarity
The Grand Lodge of South Carolina is one of the oldest in the United States. While these 250th-anniversary medals were issued to members in 1987, it is highly uncommon to find the industrial mold along with the coin. This set is a must-have for Masonic scholars or those interested in the process of numismatic manufacturing.
