DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 12/22/2011 2:00 pm Considering the attrition rate of circulating Zincolns, I'd say you actually saved these coins (and made them "collectible") by pressing them into elongated Cents. Just don't squash any copper, folks! Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 12/26/2011 02:47 am I'm with bman. zincolns make lousy elongates. In the old days when it cost a dime to skoosh your cent, the machines had signs in them not to use steel cents. Never had one handy to see if the problem was it would damage the machine, or just to roll out correctly. Report this Post to the Staff
OneBowl Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 12/26/2011 09:49 am Igleos, Of the hundreds of coins I've placed on railroad tracks when I was a kid, only maybe 2 remained on the rails and I only found about 75% of what I placed and I had zero "competition" trying to locate them. Some ended up 50-100 feet up the tracks. I must say the Walker Half was the easiest to find on a bright sunny day. Wish I had kept a few. They have a lot of character afterwards!

If the elongation machine is in a store (not outside, by a ride, or some other location), the albums are always on a rack nearby.
