Collectible coins encompass various types, including historical currency, commemorative issues, and novelty items such as elongated coins. In the context of the United States, these coins are often sought after by collectors for their historical significance, rarity, and aesthetic appeal. Elongated coins, such as those produced by Martin and Dow around 1901, are created by pressing a blank coin against a design, resulting in a stretched shape featuring unique images or inscriptions. These coins serve as memorabilia or souvenirs and are highly valued within the niche of collectible coinage.
