nss-52, that is an absolutely gorgeous Venezuelan medal - superb!
Nice elongated cent, bd251! I wonder if they put the cents in the "elongator" intentionally so that the obverse would still be legible?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

This one finally arrived yesterday (online auction on 11/12!). World's Columbian Exposition - Signing of the Declaration of Independence, Discovery of America, and Landing of the Pilgrims. So-called Dollar HK-157 in white metal. Unfortunately not the silver one, but I'm not complaining as it was only $20!   Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I have one from the 1939 New York World's Fair that also has a datable host coin (1935). From what I remember when I bought the New York one is that the seller had three or four and not all of them were elong9in this orientation. I'm sure a Google image search could give us an idea |

bd251, what got me wondering is that the only elongated cent I have is from Chicago's 1933 Century of Progress Exposition made from a 1906 Indian Head cent.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

My guess would be that the roller inserted the coin into the machine in whatever way the customer requested, even if it wasn't a cent:   The above elongate celebrated the opening of the Sewickley-Coraopolis Bridge near Pittsburgh in 1911. Its catalog number is PEN-XXX-1. |
