First published in 1981, Yesterday’s Elongateds by Lee Martin and Dottie Dow is the indispensable reference book for anyone who is serious about collecting “the oldies,” i.e., elongated coins rolled from 1893 to 1965.
The Elongated Collectors (TEC) has twice republished the book to include “unlisted” elongated coins missing from previous editions.

If you have high-quality photographs of any of the elongated coins below, please email the photos to editor@tecnews.org.
