You Poor, Poor Thing



1970 and Before Winner

Who knows what happened to this. Obverse is destroyed, lots of dents and a hole, hardly any detail left.

1971 and After Winner


ikaros' Columbus Zoo elongated cent


When I moved last summer, I dropped a handful of pennies including some elongated cents on the windowsill in my bedroom. Condensation and direct sun turned an otherwise lovely embossed line art of a lion into this corroded disaster.

The elongated cent was the only entry in its category; I think I showed it in the first week and noted it was a bye through to the quarterfinals. That's how my other cent got through, too; the farthing had to earn its spot. :)
