I remember a long time member who collected the railroad or machine flattened copper cents. Anyone recall?

    Maybe search elongated coins? I’m in the same boat. Yup, it was somebody. Can’t remember who.

    I have a fair size collection of elongated cents plus about a dozen elongated standing liberty quarters used as business cards by Mr. Cline of standing quarter fame.

    I don't collect 'em myself, but I have had several varieties made, on obsolete type host coins.

    Anybody who wants one of my Type 6 elongates (rolled on a Buffalo nickel), need only message me.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    It was Klif50. I had an old CONECA flattened cent and did not collect them so I gave it to him. Thanks for all the replies.
