captainrich Pillar of the Community United States 982 Posts	Posted 11/17/2021 7:45 pm This 1911 "First Steamboat" elongated is listed as 'LAno1' in Martin & Dow's Yesterday's Elongateds catalog, and I have managed to find examples rolled on a Wheat cent, Liberty nickel, Barber dime, Barber quarter and British Penny. There's another 1911 First Steamboat variety in Martin & Dow listed as 'LAno2,' which does not have the phrase "Play the Ohio," but I haven't been able to find any examples of it. Can any Louisiana collectors help me out in locating one? Thanks! My 7070 My NGC Registry Sets: https://coins.www.collectors-societ...eopleID=9216 Report this Post to the Staff

I hope you find the one you're looking for! Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 11/18/2021 3:05 pm Never considered the fact that same die may be used on different coins. That must make an almost infinite number of combinations for the elongated collector. Do many of the original dies from the machines exist? Report this Post to the Staff

A few dies exist from the older machines, but they are scarce and collectors are quick to report and/or cancel old dies when they are found. The catalog Yesterday's Elongateds also reports the existence of some specific dies and warns that re-rolls are possible.
