Looks like I have several from trips to the various Smithsonian museums. Here is one from Air & Space:

Another elongated cent from the Smithsonian, this one from the National Museum of Natural History featuring a polar bear. The host was a 1995-D cent.

I have thousands of them all bagged in a box (probably weighing 20 pounds).

Though I do not collect them, I joined TEC a year or so ago in an effort to learn more about them. That effort failed, as I simply do not have the time.

They languish in the basement waiting for someone to love them.

I'll post a photo later today... it's a mass... I don't think I have the time, energy, or interest to go through them all.

@maravedis, while I don't have a giant box, I do have quite a few of these things squirreled away and so am taking small bits of time to photograph, post, and place in 2x2s about 3 or 4 per week. Obviously, focus on the part of your collection that you want, but I'm finding this effort kinda relaxing.

I was wrong... I think this box weighs over 30 pounds.

Here they are. The second photo shows them in the bags (which are over 2-inches thick). There might be 4,000 or 5,000 of these things.
