How many different elongated (or squished, rolled-out, squashed, etc.) pennies are out there? The book refered to in this auction was originally published in the 60s (?) at 1200 pages. Small printing too. I don't know if a second edition or suppliment was ever written. I started a small collection of elongated pennies about 10 years ago. Answered an ad in the "Antique Trader" magazine from a collector / dealer named "Doug" Fairbanks. He sent me his sale / trade list that was over 100 double sided pages.

Think there's a lot of chips out there?
