A revised update of “Yesterday’s Elongateds” is long overdue. TEC plans to tackle this project. However, we need help. The Fairbanks “Guide to Unlisteds” contains descriptions only. Rosato’s “Unlisteds” includes illustrations with descriptions. However, we need pictures of all new items to be included in the revision. Here is where you come in. Please review your collections and furnish TEC with pictures of coins that you have in your collection that fit the descriptions of unlisted items, plus others that you may have that may not yet have been identified. Each person submitting information will be listed as a contributor in the revised issue. They will also be recognized and thanked in TEC News as we proceed.  Coins that will be included are those from 1965 and earlier. 

Pictures can be emailed to Pictures@tecnews.org If you happen to know the number of the elongated i.e. ARI-phx 3a, be sure to include it with the picture and help us verify. Please send one image per email. Send as high of a resolution as you can in an image form (JPG, JPEG, GIF, etc. Not a PDF)  Please send any identification or other information you know about the coin as well.

If you have any questions regarding the pictures, use the email above and we will walk you through the process. If you don’t have a way to get a photo or a scan but have the coin in your collection, please let us know so we can work something out. We really want to get this completed and it is going to require help from many sources.
