E-Bay is not a good place to judge the value of elongates. I won't go into detail here as it's all been said before. Simply put, most e-bay elongate prices are too high. Besides, you said yourself you have 'lots' of these available. I'm not trying to discourage people from making a trade with you just trying to help increase everyone's knowledge.

I think the celebration is running on something like more than two years now. The 26th anniv. celebration was to start this month but I heard the propertywide celebration will now be in Feb. (after the extension). I have a feeling the machines will stay for the extension since they are probably making lots of money on them too.

Date: 03 Oct 1997 22:16:25 -0700 (PDT) Woo Hoo!!!! Hey all, guess what came in the mail for me this afternoon?! TEC awarded me, yes _*ME*_ with a MERIT AWARD coin! I got a letter signed by Ray Dillard which reads as follows: " Sept 26, 1997 Dear TEC Member Matt Birchard Congradulations! The enclosed Merit Award Coin is presented to you in recognition of your servife and/or outstanding contributions towards the promotion of the Hobby of collecting Elongated Coins. This annual award is made to only a very limited few after review and approval of the TEC Board of Directors. Please accept it with our appreciation. Sincerely, Ray Dillard, V.P. P.S. Looking forward to meeting you at the ANA Convention in Portland next year. " Impressive huh? And now for the coin description. It is a 1964 silver quarter. Cool merely for that respect. Horizontal design with "The Elongated Collectors" at the top. "MERIT AWARD" at the bottom. TEC owl with TEC in the center. At left "19", at right "97". Standard dot border with Ray's engraver mark by the start slot. Oh, did I say it is a silver quarter? The design is only 1 1/2" long, and as such the coin is not very flattened. Perhaps as thin as a (pre rolled) dime. The coin is certainly not as large as the few disney quarters I have. The reverse very clearly retains the face of the quarter, with the date and such. The design is still slightly raised. So, what extrodinary thing did I do to deserve this award? I'm not sure. Truthfully. Perhaps the Board of Directors felt that I was as good as the next guy, or they recognized my name from the several articlaes I've authored, or because of the last article I wrote concerning a membership roster that included such wonderful recommendations and comments on our club as a whole. Or maybe someone thought they'd award this coin to me because I _think_ (and I stress think) that the club may have stiffed me for a few Newsletter Award coins, or maybe it was just the luck of the draw. At any rate, I feel deserving and I'm happy to except the award. What a surprise to find in the mail. Now to write a nice note to Ray.

But has anyone gone to the original Calico Ghost Town out in the Mojave lately? Are there elongates there? aside: Calico Ghost Town in San Bernardino County was where the father of Walter Knott (the patriarch of KNott's) first mined for silver...and the structures of Calico were copied in Buena Park, except for the Hotel - that was moved from Prescott, AZ. Knott's must have had a hand in developing Calico Ghost Town (they donated it to the county) because I remember many attractions are similar - mine train ride, the house where everything is slanted, bottle house, etc. Alan Kita Torrance California USA AlinCal2@aol.com wrote: > > Keep those Knotts elongates ---they may become rare--according to a recent > news paper article ---Knotts might be up for sale ---Who knows what will > happen--could this be fact or fiction ---attention -----all elongate > collectors should watch this development!!!!!! > > keeping you informed E.

The account defaulted to no-external e-mail. I did make it to Niagara Falls on the trip out. The states I have pennies from: Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Kansas, Utah I pressed between 4-10 per penny. On the Niagara Fall dimes - yes I pressed 7 dupes. I went through rolls of quarters like they were water. In the end, there is lots of new information for the list. I pressed 1 of each for Janelle and Chris. However, I found out later that an I LOVE YOU penny in New York was unique. It had hearts around it. Also, the pennies near Lincoln's tomb and the log cabins I only got a couple of. I didn't think there would be pennies and didn't bring any. So, I had to scrounge as much as I could from the people there. Coolest penny experience: St. Louis Science Center. We showed up to the entrance a half hour after it closed. I have my face pressed up against the glass and make sounds. One of the cleaning people comes over. I yell through the glass, "do you have any penny machines?" I hold up a penny to the glass. The woman nods. She yells back "two dollars." I nod and run back to the car and get my stuff. She won't let me in so I give her a roll of quarters and pennies. She presses one of each and then skims two dollars off the top for "risking her job." Hey! It's all in the name of pennies!

In fact, it was almost impossible to get amotel room within a few blocks around KBF which is saying something in October. From what I've heardKBF is just looking to expand (like every other amusement park in California). The Friday night Halloween Haunt was sold out and the Saturday was nearly so.

The bill for the mailing lists ISP is going to come due the second week of December, and is going to be quite a burden. However, there is no way I'm going to let this list die after it has grown so much and helped so many. So..... Announcing the first ever Elongated Coin Mialing List Auction! The auction will be held during the month of November and all proceeds will be used to support the Mailing List. I pay more for the list's ISP then I do for my primary ISP cause my primary ISP won't host the list. Any funds above and beyond the ISP bill (just over $100) will be put towards creating a new domain that will be home to the list itself and will host elongates-related web sites, ftp sites, etc. The domain is going to cost roughly $400 to set up and maintain for the first year or so. What will be auctioned? Anything and everything I can get my hands on that may possibly be of interest to the members of the list. I'm putting up several oldies (including two Columbian Expo coins), various modern issues, some painted elongates, elongated 2x2s, an EC pamphlet, and a few rolls of copper and/or steel coins. Do you have anything you can donate to the list? Obviously any of the items above are of interest to all here, but anything else the list MAY be interested in would be great: non-elongated coins, tokens or medals; EC books/magazines, etc; services you can provide; random items you have lying around the house; just about anything. Any donations that are not sold will be returned to the donator. Thanx in advance for your help!

Well, we could all just happen to break down on the San Mateo Bridge at a pre-specified time and enjoy the sun and surf from the small emergency parking area ;) Seriously, though. I'm not very concerned with where (as long as there's no admission or parking fee). Either SM or Newark are fine with me. How about either Saturday the 18th or Sunday the 19th? > Anyone else going to be in the area? I'm dying to do some more trading. I > just found out that I have a complete Marine World 11 coin set!

I guess it should be on a volunteer basis > only. I'd considered asking for straight donations, but decided against it for several reasons: 1) It's not really about the money. I do this 'cause I love it. 2) Once people start paying for something they begin to feel a sense of ownership. While often a good thing, it can also be bad. People are much more willing to accept 'flaws' in something they have not paid for, be it mail bombs inadvertently created by the list-owner, spam, or snesnless ramblings. 3) Bookkeeping. I hate it and certainly don't want to have to do it if I can avoid it. 4) I, personally, find requests for donations irritating. Those who can't (or don't want to) donate often feel guilty for not doing so. I don't want to risk closing anyone out. Essentially, that's why I came up with the idea of doing an auction to help support the list. This way people get something they want and still manage to support the list. If people can't spend money, they still get the list guilt-free and just miss out on some 'goodies'. Of course, once I looked thru what I had to auction I realized that I'd need more stuff if I was going to have any real success, so I was 'forced' to make a request for donations. I don't intend to repeat that plea as I feel bad enough doing it once. Of course, none of this is meant to imply that people shouldn't feel free to bid extraordinary amounts of money on the auction lots just to help support the list or send large sums of cash to me without ulterior motive :) Peace, Aahz ~~~Creator of Butterflies, Guardian Angel, Slave to Lady Nikki ~~Ex-Vampire Hunter (Got caught by the only one I need) ~~~~List-owner: The Elongated Coin Mailing List ~~~~~~~~"My name is Aahz and I'm a Tinkaholic" "Hello Aahz!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Dixon, Jeff" Subject: RE: (elongates) What about minor "dues"?

I'm not totally up on the proper catalogging protocal, so here is a bunch of detail and I'll let you do the rest. :-) BTW, these two coins were the basis of my collection back when I had under 30 coins. Circa 1983, latter part of the summer. Vertical design. Dot border, dots are somewhat larger than dots on many other coins. Top: "(c) UNIVERSAL CITY STUDIOS INC." Below: "FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER" Picture of Frankenstein's Monster, nice raised image. Head is large with a big forehead, the bolts in the neck, and the Monster is wearing a turtle neck. Reverse of my specimen is heavily pitted, actually it is a mess of raised bumps. The reverse roller must have been pretty screwed up. The date is when my dad and I rolled the coin, late summer, 1983. Oh, there is no start slot. Horizontal Design. Dot border, except copyright info replaces dots at top. Start slot on left. Copyright info which replaces dots at top reads: "(c) 1986 UNIVERSAL CITY STUDIOS INC" Top: "KONGFRONTATION (TM)" Below: "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS (R)" Picture is of Kong's two hands holding a tour bus (Universal tour type bus) and Kong's head behind the bus with his eyes looking through the bus. Mouth is open, nice detail on the engraving. So, there ya go. Sorry folks, I have no spares to trade. :-( And hey Chris, you need to publish a hardcopy version of the catalog once you've gotten more stuff listed. ANd the proper protocal for catalogging all issues so that this method can be spread throughout the hobby. Have you written an article for TEC News about it yet? Sorry about not keeping in the discussion as much as I'd like, but I'm on 4 active (including this one) mailing lists, and welp, just two days ago the tech folks at my school (that provide me with free e-mail) moved my INBOX because it was bursting with over 250 messages. No they weren't all new, just stuff that was still "on the table". Anyway, I do read a good number of the messages off this list, so keep 'em coming. :-) Matt Birchard TEC# 1848 Portland, Oregon USA e-mail: psu05922@odin.cc.pdx.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: John & Nancy Wooten Subject: Re: (elongates) LA Zoo pennies Date: 10 Oct 1997 10:18:07 -0700 Hi, Flats, I have already traded my complete set, but I will be going back to the zoo in the next week or two, so if you are willing to be patient, I would be happy to get you a set and trade for the MN Zoo.

I have three coins you don't list. They were from the "Star Trek Adventure" which was there from about 1989 until they closed it to put the Flintstones in. The coins are as follows: h - Star Trek Logo "Star Trek" (This coin also has the names of cast members as follows: Captain/Kirk, Mr./Spock, Dr./McCoy, Scotty, Chekov, Uhura, Sulu. The "Star Trek" is in the middle of the coin, surrounded by the cast names - pretty hard to describe) Has Dot Border. h - Star Trek Adventure Logo "Paramount Pictures/Star Trek/Adventure/Universal Studios" Has Dot Border h - Picture of U.S.S. Enterprise with starry background "U.S.S./Enterprise" Has Dot Border Also, on your location list, you have a typo, showing a coin in ET's Toy Closet as number 49, instead of number 40.

Thank you very much! > I'm not totally up on the proper catalogging protocal, so > here is a bunch of detail and I'll let you do the rest. :-) For the moment, I prefer creating the numbers myself. I've just finished converting "Yesterday's Elongateds" into the new system and will start work on Rosato's Encyclopedia when I finally get my paws on one. The work with Yesterday's has caused several catalogging revisions and I expect the Encyclopedia to cause more. Until I get that work done, I'd prefer to do the catalogging myself in order to keep things internally consistent. > And hey Chris, you need to publish a hardcopy version of the catalog once > you've gotten more stuff listed. That's the plan! Right now I've got a few hundred coins catalogged and several thousand with tentative numbers. After I get and convert Rosato's Encyclopedia the first hardcopy editions should be coming out. Until then, the catalog only exists in my mind and on the net. > ANd the proper protocal for catalogging all issues so that this method can > be spread throughout the hobby. Have you written an article for TEC News > about it yet? See my comments above regarding publishing the protocol. Essentially I don't want to end up with conflicting code numbers and the only way I see to avoid those is to have a large number of coins pre-catalogged and then assign new numbers thru one person/body of persons. These things are in progress. As for publishing in TEC News...I have been told by numerous people that creating a new catalogging system will only aggravate those who are used to the old system. I understand this to a degree, but it has been impressed upon me that simply creating and encouraging the use of this system is going to cause some MAJOR problems with me and TEC. Considering the fact that a fair number of TEC insiders have already decided I'm a trouble maker I think it's best if I hold off on sharing this with them for the moment. A shame, really, because it will just be that much harder to do without their help.

The one flaw of the Chris Catalog (I just named it, sounds good) is the sequential numbering. When new issues are discovered which predate previous entries, the nice neat format may become a bit ragged, but I don't really see a better way, so I think it is fine. Also, just curious, what are you doing about coins which are location specific, like Lord's Prayer issues and store cards? You may have addressed this already and I just missed it (I mentioned that I don't read everything from this list), but I'm curious. So the Chris Catalog is in the beta testing stage now with us 'net folks. :-) > > > And hey Chris, you need to publish a hardcopy version of the catalog once > > you've gotten more stuff listed. > > That's the plan!

I've got two of the Encyclopedia's, one unopened. It would cost about $9.00 to ship to you, but it is a thought. I rarely use my open copy now. You could keep it until you'd done the conversion.

Yep, I'd have to tend to agree with the aggravation comments. You represent change and established organizations are resistant to change. I just formally learned that in my Organizational Behavior class at University. Puttin' that ed-ju-macation to work right away. :-) Yeah, I guess there could be some problems, but what could be too MAJOR? TEC is just a bunch of folks that have an interest in these coins. However, you're membership # lets everyone know about when you joined, and anyone over 2000 is considered "new" in my book, and I'd suspect many other longtime members' perceptions. But seriously, what could the club do? Kick you out? I don't think so. > Considering the fact that a fair number of TEC insiders have already > decided I'm a trouble maker I think it's best if I hold off on sharing > this with them for the moment. A shame, really, because it will just be > that much harder to do without their help. > The biggest point of aggravation that I can foresee with the Chris Catalog is the conversion of the previously exsisting listings in "Yesterday's" and Rosato's "Encyclopedia". Those guys that invented those catalogging methods are still around and a conversion has never been done to my knowledge. Meaning Rosato didn't re-number all of the Martin-Dow numbers. Whether you mean to or not, I'm sure you'll make them feel like you're "invading" or "altering" their work by re-numbering them. In those guys' minds, their catalogging systems are the end all, be all. Just be aware that relisting a perviously listed coin may ruffle a few more feathers than listing an unlisted modern. Personally I approve of it, because I see the Chris Catalog as being much more complete and easier to use. You've got my support and I assume everyone on this list supporting you too, so more power to you. I'll help where I can.

Date: 11 Oct 1997 16:23:29 -0400 (EDT) Greetings All! Just back from Disneyland. Hi Martin from San Diego! (Met him at the Neon Cactus. Of course, the restaurant was closed and mostly locked up, but, Martin, his lady companion, my wife, daughter and I formed a line at the newly re-discovered DIS-DLH-1 machine! :-). What a great location for a restaurant, built around a penny press! Thanks to the poster of that location! Back to business..... Checked out the Park, looking for the illusive seasonal sets. Made it to Teddy Bearra's Arcade. Whooooaaa machine number 624, Ursula (v) HS, Maleficent (v) HS, and the Wicked Witch (v) 3/4 picture, are now on stage. Much like last year, but, NO DATE's or "dripping blood" on the ec's. The machine has been down more than up and wasn't there on the 3rd of the month, so guess it's really fresh. I rolled a *few* coins before it failed again! All of you that have posted an interest in these sets before, I'm still short. However, I'll try to roll more when the machine is up and be as fair as I can when trading them out. (I have a list of interested parties, but, it wouldn't hurt to reaffirm your interest by e-mailing to me at roberthoff@aol.com.) If I can roll an extra set, I will donate it to the auction. Back on stage at Teddy Bearra's, is the DIS-DLH-8, Disneyland Hotel Quarter, DIS-DL-69, Mickey Quarter and DIS-DL-70, Castle Quarter. Moved from Teddy Bearra's is machine number 534, Thumper, Bambi, and Flower, now located at the Country Bear Playhouse with the CBP set. -Bob Hoff TEC#2033 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: John & Nancy Wooten Subject: Re: (elongates) NEW DL EC's!

I don't think we should let this one get by us. The machine will most likely have a short stay on stage if it is like last year's villians. Gotta get while the gettin' is good! :-) -Bob TEC #2033 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: AlinCal2@aol.com Subject: Re: (elongates) NEW DL EC's!
