You guys have to check out TEC (The Elongated Collectors). This site is a hoot. Relatively small but they seem like good people with a passion for squishin”. I admit to having quite a few of these elongated cents but I never thought that anyone was organizing a forum around them. Hope you have fun! http://www.tecnews.org/Forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=24
My sister, who I am trying to get involved in numismatics, loves the elongated cents. She gets them whenever she sees a machine, and has people bring them back for her whenever they go anywhere.
Hmmm. Another thing to collect!! LOL! My son had a few of those, but I don't know where they are now. I was in St. Augustine last Friday and saw one of these machines at the 'Fountain of Youth' park. I didn't buy any (4 different designs) but now I wish I had. I didn't realize there are as many of these out there as there are. I'll have to think about this!!
Yea I have a collection of them but all new common stuff. I've seen that web site before it's cool. I can't believe they have all those old ones. The old ones are so nice.
A friend of mine is either president or past president. He always has several in his pocket and gives some to my son at Boston Numismatic Society meetings.
I am a member of TEC.. the current prez lives close by me, his name is ray Dillard. I know the past VP as we are in another coin club together. I have ~1000 or so of them, its fun and CHEAP!
