I just got these 2 store cards in the mail today. I'm extremely happy to find these 2 Michigan store cards with dates of 1861 and 1862. My 1st 2 store cards from my home state of Michigan.

My NEWP this week. Now one of my favorites in my set. In hand it almost looks like a "Greenie." Really a stunning Large Cent. I wish I had better pictures.
This was a Heritage Pick a few weeks back. I paid double what I should have for a 1956 Proof 68 because someone saw what I did. It's a DDR-FS-501. Pop 2, 1 higher. Trueview showed up yesterday.

The carbon spots are going to limit the grade. Also, it might just be lighting but the color seems off to me... I wouldn't send in for grading... not worth the fees and shipping.

@lkenefic I was watching that coin on Ebay for a while...good price but the hit on the E in CENT kept me on the sidelines.I am sure it looks better in hand. This coin is what I call "A Tail of Two Sides." From the Twin Leaf Collection.

Yeah, I weighed the reverse hit against the accurate grade, trueview, original surfaces, and the CAC sticker... that it was priced near greysheet was what made me pull the trigger.
Edited to add... and its likely the last coin I'll be buying until Summer.
... and this piece will live in its AU55 CAC'd plastic tomb

This is my upgrade to the 1925 DDR I posted a few weeks back. Yeah - it's an amazing cent in hand and this is as close as I can capture it.

What's on the other side? Do they have a common reverse?
Do you know who struck these?

Nothing extraordinary but I like that these are the original composition from 1909
I’ve got to seek out all 4 in PR70 eventually

Thank you guys. The color is different in real life than in my pictures. I'm still working on that part.
