Circus Thanks for starting this thread. Some very interesting examples here. I see you and others posted some elongated from the 1933 Worlds fair. I have a particular interest in them. Here are a couple of mine.  Edited by Pennywise142

Here is a selection from Bristol in England What denomination would these have been struck from? Interesting how they have such distinctive "tails" to them. Here's the result of my first experiment. The one on the left was made from a pre-Zincoln. The one on the right was an attempt to substitute the .500 fine British sixpence, for which it appears the thickness is insufficient to achieve a complete pressing. I've yet to give the Dutch ¼ gulden its shot.   Colligo ergo sum

Interesting how they have such distinctive "tails" to them. I think this happens when a machine is 'set' to squash post-1992 bronze-clad steel pennies, and you use pre-1992 bronze ones (or vice versa). I know that one type seems to stretch more than the other! |

Here's how that Dutch ¼ gulden turned out - certainly better than the sixpence but evidently still just slightly deficient in volume for the pressing to be as fully accomplished as with a U.S. cent.   It looks as if I'll have to continue to search for a truly adequate world silver issue to feed into these machines. Colligo ergo sum

There are some great looking ones on this list. I will have to look for some of mine, but here is one I had handy.  |

Wow, I had no idea this topic existed! I have several elongated cents I could add, but I just got a couple elongated quarters (my first). I will have to take pics and post. One of them is recognizable as a 1995 quarter and both were apparently smashed at the Alamo. Good stuff! In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
