Nice Store Card and Shield Nickel

[PlzBSeated]

Pretty good day. Got some good finds and didn't have to dig a ton of trash.



Got this nice store card today. The elusive 1864 date, minted after Congress passed a law allowing only the government to issue money.
J. Decker, Groceries & Provisions, Ligonier, Indiana.



And got this nice 1867 nickel to boot.



And these are the not so nice finds. A crusty Indian head, 1894, I think. And what I believe is a flying eagle cent. Pretty damaged.

Today's finds...
