I'm not sure if this one will be any good, but here it goes. New York World's Fair elongated cent. Host coin is a 1935 US cent.  Coin modifications 3 - A coin made into something else. For example as an advertising token, "love token," hobo nickel or official counterstamp/overstrike 2 - A coin with chopmark(s) or "non-artistic" graffiti (like a random x or something) 1 - A damaged coin. Corroded, bent, holed, shipwreck, etc. Or a coin made into jewelry without further modification. Date 3 - 1935 or 1939 2 - 1930s 1 - Two dates Denomination (original or new) 3 - 1/100 2 - 1/10 or less 1 - greater than 1/10 Other points +1 each - elongated coin - "New York" in some form - World's Fair or similar exposition - non-circular Tokens are acceptable, but won't get points that specify "coin" Do I still need to say the round ends in three days? Lol

Hobo nickel sent to be my a friend in the U.S. many years ago. It is called Blue man by "New York" Mike.

I hope this is good for three points.  Chopmark or graffiti?

6 - triggersmob - nice job working "New York" in there 3 - jbuck - I'll consider a single stamped letter as a "chopmark" 4 - Khromtau - I can't be convinced it's not circular, but I could see those deep scratches in the same area as graffiti Dorado needs to choose one coin. That elongated US zinc cent(?) will get the most points.
@jbuck it's always impressive how often you can play an Ike. I'm pretty sure this isn't even the first time you have played your jbuck!

I didn't think the reeding would count as a whole bunch of sides but I had to have a little fun.

Quote: I'm pretty sure this isn't even the first time you have played your jbuck I am sure it is. I might have to go look back for its past appearances.
