What is the value of a 1945 penny with a masonic symbol engraved on Lincoln's chest?

The coin you have described is defaced and as such has no numisnamtic value at all. Its worth is equal to that of the metals used to make it which today is about 1.8 cents. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
