Copper 4 the Weekend

DCW

Happy Friday, everybody! Post your copper for the first weekend of June.
This one is not mine, but perhaps someone scored it from Steve Hayden's Ebay auction last month. Only 2 known. Alfred S. Robinson's storecard with presumably his office building on the obverse.


I really like this one!

I went through 67 BU rolls of 1956-D Lincoln Cents over the last week. Found a lot of interesting stuff, such as RPMs, the infamous RPD, etc. I also found the best example VEDS Cent I've come across so far. This coin shows essentially zero die wear, and exhibits multitudes of small surface scratches that are very shallow and would likely "wear away" after a small number of strikes. It has this odd "pizza cutter" pattern I have not seen before, but it's super shallow, so just the first few hundred (maybe 1000?) coins would show it. Anyway, see the coin below, and zoomed-in on the pizza cutter markings:

I also noted that out of >3000 BU coins searched, all coins that were fully struck exhibited damage to the "6" in the date. I could not find a single coin that was well-struck yet did not show damage, telling me that most likely this goes back to the master die for the year. Here's a 2D image and a perspective/3D rendering of the damaged numeral:

This is my 56-D rpm 16. And yes, it does have the notch in the 6.

I just got Evanson’s Mass Cent graded. I have no idea as to why I didn’t send it in a few years back
when I had the half cent graded.

Been working on putting together all varieties of Jackson Michigan store cards for quite a few years. So far I’m at 21 of 29. Here’s one...

And here is Wm. Jackson’s portrait done after the Civil War.
