I believe that it depicts the Space Shuttle Enterprise, but I could not find a picture of a normal one.

Lucky Cuss posted one of these back on Page 6 https://goccf.com/t/318722&whichpage=6#2737380
and I just picked one up. The host coin was the same year - 1904.

Thank you, MintedNotPrinted jbuck and Errers!
I keep looking at that Festival Hall and think "Back in the day, the US did festivals and fairs right. Not so much anymore.".

I displayed an exhibit of elongated coins last month at the 2026 ANA World's Fair of Money. It didn't win any ribbons, but I thought I'd share it here.
Since the WFOM was in Pittsburgh, PA, I displayed all the known elongated designs from Allegheny County listed in the "Yesterday's Elongateds" catalog. Ironically, they were all dated 1910-1911.
Beside each elongated cent, I added a postcard depicting the subject/event of the coin and a close-up photograph of the coin.
Here's what the display looked like:
