I'm not sure if this one will be any good, but here it goes.

New York World's Fair elongated cent. Host coin is a 1935 US cent.
Yet-Another-Forum-Game---Numismatic-Go-Fish!

Coin modifications
3 - A coin made into something else. For example as an advertising token, "love token," hobo nickel or official counterstamp/overstrike
2 - A coin with chopmark(s) or "non-artistic" graffiti (like a random x or something)
1 - A damaged coin. Corroded, bent, holed, shipwreck, etc. Or a coin made into jewelry without further modification.

Date
3 - 1935 or 1939
2 - 1930s
1 - Two dates

Denomination (original or new)
3 - 1/100
2 - 1/10 or less
1 - greater than 1/10

Other points +1 each
- elongated coin
- "New York" in some form
- World's Fair or similar exposition
- non-circular

Tokens are acceptable, but won't get points that specify "coin"

Do I still need to say the round ends in three days? Lol

Hobo nickel sent to be my a friend in the U.S. many years ago.
It is called Blue man by "New York" Mike.

I hope this is good for three points.

Chopmark or graffiti?

1976 bicentennial half dollar with odd scratches on the obverse, that has 2 dates, is a denomination that is greater than 1/10(if I understand correctly) and is not round(the reeding makes it not round, a cent does count as round [I could debate this, but I wont!]) It also appears to have a major struck through string! I will post in modern variety and error forum soon.

6 - triggersmob - nice job working "New York" in there
3 - jbuck - I'll consider a single stamped letter as a "chopmark"
4 - Khromtau - I can't be convinced it's not circular, but I could see those deep scratches in the same area as graffiti
Dorado needs to choose one coin. That elongated US zinc cent(?) will get the most points.

@jbuck it's always impressive how often you can play an Ike. I'm pretty sure this isn't even the first time you have played your jbuck!

I didn't think the reeding would count as a whole bunch of sides but I had to have a little fun.

I try to post an Ike whenever I can, especially after I was told to post one a while back.

I am sure it is. I might have to go look back for its past appearances.
