Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/22/2017 4:14 pm 113 years ago someone took this brand new 1904 Indian Head cent and elongated it to make it a token to support Alton Parker's run for president against Theodore Roosevelt. I saw this on ebay and bought it. I posted this under the tokens and medals link, but thought those who like Indian Heads would enjoy seeing it as well. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 04/23/2017 12:26 pm If it only were a Teddy Roosevelt elongated cent. No one's ever heard of Alton Parker. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
