I'm a member of the C.O.N.E.C.A. collector's club. The group CONECA was created in 1983 when the two largest error collector groups merged together. If you have an interest in error and variety coins, you may want to check them out at https://conecaonline.org/

Here is an elongated cent that they sent to me when I renewed my membership. The lettering is slightly hard to read in spots, so here's a description of what it says.

The eagle is holding a ribbon with the club's motto of 'KNOWLEGE THROUGH EDUCATION'. Just below the eagle shows 'ORGANIZED 1983.' Across the bottom there are two lines with the groups' full name, *COMBINED ORGANIZATIONS OF NUMISMATIC* then * ERROR COLLECTORS OF AMERICA* just below. (I wonder why the shortened it to just CONECA? )

The obverse of the 1975-D cent is flattened, but still visible on the smooth side of the item. The original toning of the coin shows quite well, even though the raised devices of the original coin have been obliterated.

I do like how the Lincoln profile was not obliterated during the big squeeze
