Usually the details are fairly visible, and in most (though maybe not all) cases, the host coin date is visible. Usually this will mean the 1940s, though there were some 1920s and 1930s coins in the source lot as well- even a few &#039;teens. Silver dimes, let alone Mercury dimes, are very seldom seen as host coins for elongates, so hopefully these will prove popular.</font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><b>(1) on 1950s Wheat cent, unholed (one of 200 pieces produced). </b>Most though not all coins have the wheat ears of the host coin visible on the back, but a few have the host coin obverse showing, and therefore a readable date in some cases.</font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><b>(1) on 1950s Wheat cent, holed (one of 200 pieces produced).</b> As above, but holed for keychain or jewelry use.</font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/4q/k66u8mf1caje.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/pd/81e8rdf3l4xx.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5">Coins for these 3-piece sets will be randomly selected and pre-sealed in the envelopes shown, so the host coin dates will be random.</font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5">The dies for these elongated coins were made for me and rolled out by Cindy Calhoun, the president of TEC (The Elongated Collectors), at <a href="http://elongatedpenny.net/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://elongatedpenny.net/" rel="nofollow">elongatedpenny.net</a>.</font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5">The design is based on the Scottish clan badge for the Clan Robertson (my maternal family line, from which my first name is derived).</font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/7n/ugqz29ywmcgr.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/ym/fyotu7ok0eqn.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/cy/ocp7u6u5e4fi.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/ke/7jnbqjvvdi9o.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><font size="5">(There is also the regular giveaway on the Contests forum- see the link in my signature line.
