Since the grave belongs to Louis S. Nobel it would make sense. The simplest explanation is often the correct one. I believe the $ symbol was also on spanish pieces of 8. Looks like an LSN to me.

Not sure of the date of this marker but it doesn't seem to be among the earliest. Any thoughts if this fits the IHS theory? Shortened URL: http://is.gd/fdac As to the dollar sign theory, a quick search of that symbolism yields many examples of the "S" with either 1 or slashes but none with 3. See shortened link below: http://is.gd/fdep I see that this thread is a couple of years old but still would appreciate any response from interested parties.

The symbol of the serpent represents wisdom. The twin vertical lines historically part of the dollar symbol were representative of the two pillars that stood at the porchway or entrance of King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. One named after **** , the Great Grandfather of King David and the other for the assistant High priest who officiated at the dedication of the Temple . The USA was set up by Freemasons If you look at your declaration of independence look closely at the signatories names. Each one was a Freemason, Look at your dollar bill, and repeat your oath of alleigence. If in doubt then go and ask any freemason to tell you of the craft. You may find it revealing and interesting.
