Being a newbee my collection consists of only 3. The Lord's Prayer, The 10 commandments and this one: I got this one on a trip out west. I can remember where I got it and it reminds me or the trip as a whole. Great memories!  I had NO idea that there was such a big interest in these "smashed" pennies. I have already contacted my son that lives near a machine and ask him to smash a few for me so I can trade. This phase of coin collecting promises to be fun! |

I once posted a comment somewhere that maybe we could put a bunch of altered cents in a treasure box for future collectors to find.One can only imagine who or what alien from a distant planet would find them,and what they would think.gasman96

I have two or three of these, as well as some pennies that were run over by a train. I even saw an elongated dime machine once. I just never could really get into it though. To each his own I suppose.  |

Ok here it is  I have 9 here plus a couple I can't locate at this moment. I like these because they remind me of the places where they came from and I like the machines that make them. I like collecting them because for the most part you do not have to spend big money to get a nice collectible item I would like to have any that are not in my collection yet Now to the pics  Date on this one is readable 1915-S    This is on a 1992-D   This on is on a 1949-S    I have added the dates on the ones that are visible Enjoy  Edited by colosfj

Pretty cool! I actually have only 1 left!
I don't think you can use the PM system yet (50 posts). Look for an e-mail from me.

I guess I have to dig up my "collection" (may be 10 or less) for pictures..... worth the effort (10% increase == get one for digging up 10 and take pictures).

Actually, that was the last one I had SilentAsian4Hire. I have that "token" left if you'd like to have it.

To me the reverse is as important, or more important as the obverse on an Elongated Coin. I like to look for Elongated Coins where the coins obverse shows on the reverse of the Elongate, and further that the date is positioned parallel to the rolling access.
 I once had a Colombian Elongate that was rolled on an 1885 Liberty nickel with the date parallel to the roll direction! Kinda wish I still had it.  The Danester |
