Elongated Cent
TRANSPO 72
ADA-35
This offering is for an elongated cent similar to the one pictured.
Now retired, Don Adams was a commercial roller with a large client base. He was one of the early members of TEC and I believe he is a charter member. Mr. Adams designed and rolled a plethora of elongates. He destroyed most of his dies after he was finished satisfying his subscribers, thus assuring a limited number of pieces. . He covered many different subjects, stamps, coins, the US Bi-centennial are but a few. Some of his Type Coin issues are quite scarce, especially the ones depicting US silver type coins.
I have communicated with him by e-mail, but have never talked with him.

Condition:
As rolled, pictured and described. While I endeavor to remove or make note of the ones in poor condition, an occasional elongate with a carbon spot or two cannot be ruled out. Most of the backs were coated with shoe polish to preserve the actual obverse of the coin, but once in awhile, an elongated with a blank back fell into the hopper.
About my elongated coin offerings:
These are vintage silver age items produced 25 - 45 years ago by the original designer, (sometimes engraver), and roller. Many of these rollers were Charter members of The Elongated Collectors (TEC). Most of these charter members no longer produced elongated issues after 1991. Most of the dies are are closed and canceled or rusted away. When these elongates are gone they are gone forever.
These elongates are from a private personal collection I bought, there was a lot of variety, but only one or two each in some instances. Some of these issues had very limited rollings (25 to 100 each), hence the slightly higher ask price on selected offerings. But not that much more than I usually ask.
Postage and Handling:
50 cents
within the USA and APO addresses
To save you and me money, Item(s) are normally sent by first class US mail. I try to send items within 24 hours after receiving payment. Most of the time I can do this, but once in awhile it takes me longer
especially
during the summer months.
PAYMENT:
Payment by Pay pal is cheerfully accepted.
