<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 973476, member: 19065&quot;]I&#039;ve made a few of these elongated cents (from Zincoln&#039;s) in the last couple years. I purposefully made them from post &#039;82 cent coins mind you! Notice how the copper stretches and exposes the core metal. These are some examples from 2009 I made at the <a href="http://www.toweroftheamericas.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.toweroftheamericas.com/" rel="nofollow">Tower of the Americas</a> and the Alamo, San Antonio, Texas</p><p>and from 2010 Shedd Aquarium, Chicago machines. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy46/kcttck/Misc/2010_Elon_Obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy46/kcttck/Misc/2010_Elon_rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I like that they impress the year on the coin when it&#039;s sent through the rollers. I suppose machines could be calibrated not to exert so much pressure as to obliterate the pattern on the coins, sometimes you see traces of the design on the smooth back sides.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
