Description: (1872) PHILA R-PA-PH-178C KEY & CO STORE CARD MULE OF DEWITT-USG-1868-27 OBV NGC MS 62 RB MULED COPPER OBVERSE OF DEWITT-USG-1868-27 WITH KEY & CO. STORE CARD ON REVERSE. THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS TO DATE FOR THIS TYPE AS OF 12/2023. PEDIGREE: Ex. J. Doyle Dewitt Collection!! Dewitt was the author of: A century of campaign buttons, 1789-1889; a descriptive list of medalets, tokens, buttons, ferrotypes, and other lapel devices relating to the national political campaigns in the United States from 1789 to 1889, who amassed one of the largest collections of United States Presidential Memorabilia. THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY MEDALS THAT MR. DEWITT HAD IN HIS COLLECTION THAT IS NOT LISTED IN HIS 1959 BOOK. THE "KEY STORE CARD" REVERSE PROBABLY MADE THIS UNLISTABLE IN HIS BOOK AS A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN MEDAL. BUT MR. DEWITT FOUND IT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN HIS PERSONAL COLLECTION! This unique medal features a political campaign design of Ulysses S. Grant from his successful bid for presidency in 1868. The obverse design was muled with a Key & Co. Store card, making it a rare combination of political and commercial history. Made of copper, this medal is a valuable collectible for enthusiasts of historical memorabilia. It was minted in the United States in 1872 and has been certified by NGC as MS 62 RB. MY NGC REGISTRY SET "BRUCE THOMAS COLLECTION OF SO-CALLED DOLLARS AND OTHER MEDALS" WAS VOTED AS THE BEST CUSTOM SET FOR 2018 BY THE NGC REGISTRY AWARDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND THANKS TO NGC FOR THIS HONOR. PLEASE BE ASSURED OF A FLAWLESS AND EASY TRANSACTION BY MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK WHILE SELLING MANY NUMISMATIC ITEMS IN THE PAST 20 YEARS. I WILL BE LISTING MANY MORE EXONUMIA ITEMS IN THE FUTURE, INCLUDING MANY SO-CALLED DOLLARS, DEWITT LISTED POLITICAL CAMPAIGN MEDALS, AND OTHER UNITED STATES HISTORIC MEDALS. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY LISTINGS TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION.
