1933 World's Fair elongated question

Does anyone here actively collect World's fair elongated coins? I recently got a small collection of them from the 1933 Chicago fair and am not having much luck finding out anything about a piece with vertical orientation that features a woman with fans and the words FAN DANCER, WORLD'S FAIR 1933 above and below the dancer. Does anyone know the current value of this piece in AU condition? I'd post a photo but currently have no means to do so.

I have always dreamed of finding a stretched 1939 Mercury 10C from the '39 Fair.
Best wishes,

To give you some idea of the scale, there are 112 elongateds listed from the 1933 Worlds Fair, and 20 are rated as a rarity of 4, while 9 are rated with a rarity of 5 or higher.
There is one pictured here, with a comment that it is one of the toughest ones to find from that fair.
Check eBay for pricing. Some elongateds from this fair sell very cheaply; others sell for quite a bit of money. The next trick is figuring which will sell for which price...
The fan dancer probably isn't since I don't have one yet.
