Collectible coins can encompass a wide range of types, including historical coins, commemorative issues, and novelty items such as elongated coins. Elongated coins are created by rolling a coin through a machine, which flattens it and often imprints a design on its surface. The elongated coin featuring "Martin Dow" from 1898 is an example of this interesting category, representing a unique piece of numismatic history with potentially unknown provenance. Collectors often seek such items for their uniqueness and the stories they tell regarding their origins and usage.
