I would like to build a "complete" collection of the enlongated coins you can make using the elongating machines at Disneyland, CA. (I live in the area and have an annual passport) So I was wondering about a few things. 1) Does any one already have a list of where the machines are located at DL. 2) How can I best insure quality of the enlongated cents? Should I polish the cents before enlongating them? I have already discovered that I should not use cents after 1982 because of the Zinc. I was toying with idea of polishing some very worn Idian Head Cents, and using those as my "planchets". It might also be interesting to use some foriegn coins. 3) Does anyone have any ideas on how to store and display the elongated cents?

The dirt on the coin is what enables one to still see the coin's original image after rolling. > > 3) Does anyone have any ideas on how to store and display the elongated > cents? TEC offers 2x2 elongated coin holders for sale. The more you buy, the cheaper they become... I think at most they are four cents each. These 2x2s fit very nicely in 20-pocket album pages, which fit into standard 3-ring binders. The elongated 2x2s are available only from TEC (as far as I know), the 20-pocket pages are available thru TEC or most any coin shop in the country.

I would recommend you use coins (Indian or otherwise) that are well aged, but with the image still visible, and no serious variations in coloring. Another tip: run a test cent thru the machine first (noting it's orientation in the machine) to check which side the image will be printed on. Even machines by the same company will vary from machine to machine. I'd recommend you use pre-82 cents from circulation for the tests as they're FAR less expensive. You can always offer these test runs up for trade! > > 3) Does anyone have any ideas on how to store and display the elongated > cents? The best way to store elongates that I've found are the 2x2s available from TEC. As for display, several people use screw down plastic surrency holders or sport card holders. These work well in that you can include a note or photograph with the coins.

Hmmm....That seems strange. I wonder how a Florida engraver ended up doing work for a machine company in Northern California. It's not that I doubt you, Willy, but I want to make sure we're all talking about the same guy. The coins w/ JD that I have are all Dotted border with the J interrupting the border on one side and the D doing the same opposite. Is this how Jim marks his dies? If so, do you possibly have his address? The San Francisco Penny Machine COmpany has been incredibly closed mouth about ANYTHING related to their business. Perhaps Jim can provide some details on the machines at Paramount's Great America. If you're not comfortable giving out his address, could you possibly send him mine? I would really like to get in touch with him.

I've split it up into 5 different messages due to its size. If you'd like a complete copy in one message, just e-mail me. Aahz' Elongates Trade List Updated: 06/21/97 Chris Aahz 925 Ravenscourt Ave #2 San Jose, CA 95128 Aahz@svpal.org Most of my elongates were purchased for the approximate issue price of 50c, however, some cost me more. As a result I have come up with a UNIT designation for each item on the list. The UNIT level is set at MY COST. There is not a profit margin built in for trades. I have designated one UNIT to equal one currently available elongate. So, if an item is listed as 3 UNITs, then my asking 'price' is 3 currently available elongates. If you have older elongates to trade, then I'm sure we can agree on something that is fair. The UNIT designation is basically a starting point.

Cretella" Subject: (elongates) Steel Elogates. Date: 24 Jun 1997 16:59:43 -0400 Anyone out there have any experience using 1943 steel cents in squashing machines? I have a couple steel elongates that I sent away for. The detail is very good. I am curious about using them in various machines in my area. However, I don't want to be the one to break the rolling press at a tourist attraction. The steel in 1943 cents should not be a whole lot harder than the copper in pre-'82 copper cents. But like I said: I don't want to be the one to break the machine. Also, here's a way to clean copper cents without going farther than the kitchen. Put one or two teaspoonfuls on salt in a cup of white vinegar. Stir and ropn in pennies. It makes a mild acid bath. Should work pretty well... DON'T do this with collector quality coins!!! See ya.

Date: 24 Jun 1997 22:45:24 -0700 (PDT) Greetings & Salutations! Okay, I've been sitting here, mulling over David's recent request for free elongates. I must say, to start out with, that the whole concept of kids ASKING for free stuff just because they're kids has always annoyed me. I believe that if people desire to donate items to young collectors they will simply do so, and always find it hard to give to those who contniually ask. However, that's just my opinion, and I hope none of you will hold it against me that I'm an old grouch 8-) Anywayz, David did give me an idea! Since this list is new and I really have no idea how to get the word out to prospective subscribers I am going to make an offer. If you enjoy the list, then tell people you talk to elongates about it. If they're interested tell them to send an introductory message to the list about themselves and their collections after subscribing. If they mention who referred them to the list, then I will send that person (the one who did the referring) a couple of coins from my trade stock (my choice). There you go, something for nothing! And it will enrich both the list and the hobby at the same time!

Then it shows up here. So, I decided to take matters in my own hands. I had stopped by the Winchester Mystery House to replenish my trade stock on Sunday, but their machines were still down. I was informed that the repair man was due to repair them on Wednesday. Today being Wednesday, I swung by the Winchester Mystery House to give a steel cent a try, knowing that if I DID jam the machine, the repair man would be there later in the day. And the results are.... It works fine! This was a Eurolink machine, and it handled the steel cent just as well as it does a copper. I even rolled a copper at right afterwards as a control group. The two coins are virtually identical in size, which implies that the steel is basically the same density/hardness/wahtever as the copper. Now we know! When I get a chance to check out a SFPMC machine I'll let y'all know.

I recently purchased the book, "Yesterday's Elongateds" by Lee Martin and Dottie Dow. I bought the book from Rich Hartzog and paid $44.50. I must say that, for me, it was well worth the money. I thought that I would share with all of you my impressions of this book. At first glance the book is somewhat imposing, 328 pages, 293 of which are filled with photos and descriptions of elongates. There are only a few pages of general information, although I found the historical information very interesting. If you collect World's Fair issues, or any of the coins issued pre-1965, then this book is a must have. Nearly everyone of the 1000s of elongates has a photograph accompanying the detailed descriptions. Included are variations that would easily slip by unnoticed if you did not know what you were looking for. However, if you are a casual collector, or someone who primarily collects modern souvenir issues, then the book will have essentially no value for you. This is not a criticism of the work, simply a statement of fact. The book sets out to cover the early era of elongates (1893-1965) and does an exceptional job. They even list rarity for each coin. The price ranges listed may not reflect the current market, but the fact that they are RANGES, so the information is still useful when used to determine relative value. I hope these relatively disjointed thoughts will be of use to someone.

Greetings, I received an elongate in change (the Oregon coin mentioned on my web site). My wife found one in a "take a penny" dish at a Duncan Donuts shop in Connecticut. This is rare, but they do circulate from time to time. They should still be leagal tender. It is up to individuals if they will accept them or not.

Wow, this was NOT a good weekend for my bank balance! I spent Saturday vampire hunting at the Humdinger Toy Show. Got some great stuff, but spent about $50 more then I had planned to. Today was the Vallejo Coin Club's annual coin show and I spent an extra $75-$100! ACK! Anywayz, the show was much better then I expected. There were about two dozen tables and seven of them had some elongates. I bought a few from everyone that had some and a lot from the two dealers that had moderns. Most of the relevant dealers had between 5 and 15 elongates, mostly World's Fair and priced between $6 and $20 each. EVERY one of them had some 1933 and 1939 WFs. So, I guess if you collect these two fairs, pickings should be anything but slim. One dealer had about 20 1893 Columbian elongates for an average of $10, but I didn't get any as his was the last table I went to and I spent what little cash I had left on a few Golden Gate Expos. Of the two dealers that had moderns, one had 40, mostly coins shows with some souvenirs and the rest mixed. Prices: $1-$2. I bought 25 of his 40! The other dealer had a binder of a couple hundred moderns at a buck each. They had purchased them from an estate. I bought about 50 from them, mainly store/personal cards and a few souvenirs. Most of what I left behind were Brazzell rolls and some souvenirs I already have. I picked up several World's Fair issues for you WF fans. I will be posting a list in the next few hours. I need to sell/trade these ASAP. As I said before I spent way too much and since I don't collect WF I'm hoping they can find a home soon. Unfortunately, there weren'y any of the Charleston Expos that Willy asked about. I did look, they just weren't there. Guess that's about it, overall I had a lot of fun. Met two other elongate collectors who may be showing up on the list soon. Admission to the show was free, but it still cost me about $12 between gas, parking and the bridge toll. Not bad. I'm happy 8-) Peace, Aahz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chris Aahz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Courier, Vampire Hunter, Non-Violent Activist The Elongated Collector (TEC) #2062 CoinMasters #182 RPGA #152668 List-owner: The Elongated Coin Mailing List (elongates@xmission.com) "Fight War Not Wars" - Crass "Playing is Just a Way to Dream" - WHATT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Chris Aahz Subject: (elongates) World'S Fair sale list Date: 29 Jun 1997 16:34:11 -0700 (PDT) Greetings & Salutations! Okay, I've got six World's Fair issues that I picked up at the coin show today. They're listed below with the price I paid for them. As always, I'm not looking for a profit, I do this for pleasure. I just like knowing that people are adding to their collections as I add to mine. The only trades I'm considering on these coins at this time are OLD San Francisco issues, Columbian Expo, or other elongates that are of relatively equal value. If I don't move all of these, then they will be added to my next trade list and assigned a UNIT value. Cash offers equal to my cost are fine, but I can't do any "package deals" or anything to lower the price, as the prices listed are my actual cost. Here they are: ILL-CPIE-22 h. Building w/ flagpole to right, "Republic of China 1933/A Century of Progress. Chicago." Rope Border --- $6.00 ILL-CPIE-33a h. Italian Pavilion, "Italian Pavilion/A Century of Progress/Souvenir/Chicago/19/33" Rope Border --- $6.00 ILL-CPIE-93 h. Angle view of skyride w/ railroad yard and parking lot in background, "World's Fair/Skyride/Chicago 1933" Dot border --- $6.00 N.Y-PAE-14 v. Temple, "Temple of Music/Pan American/Exposition/ 1901" Rolled border --- $9.00 N.Y-WF(2)-5 h. Vatican pavilion, "New York/19/64/Worlds Fair" --- $5.00 N.Y-WF(2)-8 v. N.Y. State Pavilion, "New York/19/64/Worlds Fair" --- $5.00 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chris Aahz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Courier, Vampire Hunter, Non-Violent Activist The Elongated Collector (TEC) #2062 CoinMasters #182 RPGA #152668 List-owner: The Elongated Coin Mailing List (elongates@xmission.com) "Fight War Not Wars" - Crass "Playing is Just a Way to Dream" - WHATT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: R0BERTH0FF@aol.com Subject: Re: (elongates) for trade Date: 30 Jun 1997 13:02:03 -0400 (EDT) In a message dated 97-06-29 11:57:27 EDT, you write: > I can get sets for 15 from the MN Zoo, a set of 7 from the Mall of > America and a set from Valley Fair (about 11 I think), and 1 from the > Science Museum of MN.

Date: 30 Jun 1997 13:02:13 -0400 (EDT) Hi; I would like to "imprint" some U.S. cents. Is there a simple machine available that would "stamp" an image of say maybe a 1/4 square inch in area on a cent? My budget is too small to purchase a roller, but, I would like to mark some cents to be given away as promotional pieces if possible. Thanks, and happy collecting, -Bob TEC # 2033 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Chris Aahz Subject: Re: (elongates) Countermarking method? Date: 30 Jun 1997 11:49:23 -0700 (PDT) Bob, Try your local Home Depot or Orchard Supply Hardware. Tell them what you want to do, and they can probably help you out. I believe, although I could be way off base here, that there are simple metal punches available with lettering on them. If you want a special logo designed, you'll probably need to call a machine shop, or something similar. Just a couple of guesses.
