Cajunlady0 Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 02/05/2012 12:04 pm I have a question now.......... what would you say is the value of this elongated coin versus an average condition of the coin that made it? Just curious to compare the values. Report this Post to the Staff
mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 10:37 am I have also seen these made out of nickels. As for value, there is a whole bunch of collectors that just collect exposition memorabilia and prices would be different for every exposition. As for the "coin" value you would need to be able to see the date, but on this one you can't. It could be a 1877 or just a common date hopefully the latter. Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 2:52 pm My daughter collects elongated cents but she has nothing like that. I remember a few years ago on another forum someone was selling one of these from cairo street (or some street, not sure what street it was) and it was supposed to be super rare and it sold for allot more then I thought it would. I didn't realize there were that many elongated collectors out there that was willing to pay what those worlds fair coins sell for but the history behind the coins is what makes them so fascinating to me Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 02/08/2012 09:32 am http://www.pennycollector.com/history.html That is strange no image of the coin details appear on the EC. I collect them and I do roll them when I go to parks, museums, aquariums, etc of places I visit and there is always an image on one or both sides. I have seen one site that is trying to sell the same type of coin you have for $50-$75: http://www.linkvillecoins.com/displ...cat=8&sub=24 And ECs can be made on any coin. I have some on quarters.
