Elongated Pennies
Although an example of an elongated coin is rumored to have been produced some years earlier, it is generally accepted that these tokens were first made during the 1892-1893 World's Columbian Exposition that was held in Chicago, Illinois to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America. An elongated coin is made by a coin, being forced between two steel rollers. An engraving is on one or both of the rollers and as the coin passes through the rollers it is squeezed or elongated under tremendous pressure from the original round shape to one of an oval and the engraved design impressed into the coin at the same time. Some of the earlier collectors are still trying to get everything that is produced, but the majority of todays collectors specialize in one or more fields and collect only those coins which refer to a specialized subject. For example some collect all pieces that refer to the space program, while others prefer political, Christmas, or Expositions.
