Recently picked up these very cool pieces for my exonumia collection. If I can work them in, I'll add them to my Penny Potpourri exhibit for its final display at the Chicago ANA in August.
I recently bought this piece from John Kraljevich. It's very unusual in that it's BOTH a Love Token and a Store Card on a nice quality 1863 Indian cent.
This is another rare sticker cent - I say rare because the Secret Service forced advertisers to remove stickers from the coins they were going to use for advertising purposes since advertising on U.S. money is federally prohibited. However, I've never heard of the B.P.M. company on this penny, nor have I been able to find out anything about it, so if anyone out there has info on B.P.M., please let me know.
This is another skeleton Hobo Penny - it's not necessarily rare, I just think it's a cool piece since Hobo Pennies are much more scarce than their counterpart Hobo Nickels.

The '45 is pretty cool too.
competitively then for fun. So much knowledge and fun with this display.
"Sharon" in this case might be the old borough of Sharon, Pennsylvania,
or another town or city by that name.

<< <i>I can't get over the detail on the '63! The hammer and the folded over boot. That's really incredible.

I agree, that's what drew me to this piece when John showed it to me, plus the unusual fact of it being a store card and a love token - I don't think I've seen one like it before!
<< <i>Nice acquisitions!! Did I read correctly concerning final display? Why? If not
competitively then for fun. So much knowledge and fun with this display. >>
Yes, I gave myself one year to compete with my exhibit, and (except for the weird debacle at Central States) it's been a great ride. I am so thrilled and have truly enjoyed the positive response I've gotten to my exhibit, but it's been all around the country and my one year will be up in August. I began at the Chicago ANA, and that's where it will end.

That's a good thought - I hadn't considered Sharon could be a place, rather than a person.
Thanks again everyone!

better viewed "live" than on the net. When collectors share their finds
or complete collections I always am grateful for the opportunity to see
them even if it is on the "net". To see the same "live" is just better.
Thanks for sharing!!

That 45-s is freakin me out. Reminds me of Mexican folk art / Dia de los Muertos.
Too cool
