Collectible coins, including elongated coins, are items valued by numismatists for their historical significance, rarity, and artistic design. Elongated coins are created by pressing a coin through a machine that stretches the metal, often featuring unique designs or inscriptions. The elongated coin process gained popularity in the late 19th century, with examples like those from the Martin Dow company dating back to 1901. Collectors often seek out these coins for their novelty and connection to American culture, as many are produced as souvenirs at various attractions and events.
