@mcshilling, I'm interested to hear why Dresden Ohio has that basket as a town symbol. Maybe a farming/breadbasket reference? Added: Ok well thanks to wikipedia, I now know that this is the home of the Longaberger baskets. Makes sense now.  Another Disney-themed elongated cent for me--this one references Pirates of the Caribbean:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I pressed this in Tombstone yesterday.   Although the personage depicted isn't identified, the motif is clearly derived from a widely circulated image of Geronimo.  Geronimo posed for quite a few photographs. Here's one from 1905 in Oklahoma, where he was virtually a prisoner of the U.S. government. Yes, that's the former Chiricahua Apache war leader behind the wheel of a Locomobile, sporting (of all things) a top hat. This scene was of course totally staged as Geronimo never owned or drove an automobile. Next to him in the headress is a Ponca, for whose beaded vest Geronimo expressed admiration. It was accordingly gifted to him that very day. When Geronimo died a few years later (in 1909, hence the choice of the host coin above), he was interred wearing it.  Colligo ergo sum

Here're some more of my IHC "experiments" from yesterday. First, another Geronimo.   I employed 1881's (the year of the infamous O.K. Corral gunfight) to make this pair.   As you can see, using uncleaned, even somewhat "crusty" coins yields more "antique" or "rustic" looking results. Colligo ergo sum

Nice work @LC. It is a bummer to flatten Indian Head cents, but yours came out really nice. I can never figure out how to position the cent so that the dated side is left visible. You seem to have figured that out, but more impressively, you also nailed the rotation on that first '81. For today, I've got an elongated cent from a previous Baltimore Coin Show. I missed it by a week this year.    "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
