I didn't know there was such a place. It's in Washington DC and all they have are elongated cents.

I had seen that link to the museum in an MSN or Yahoo group.

There is not much info on that site. You would think that they would have some significant elongated cents there but apparently not

Here is a link to The Elongate Collectors "Yesterday's Elongates page. I have quite a few of the 1893 and 1933-34 Worlds Fair elongates. The 1893 Columbian Expo Elongates are going for $90 to $100 at Harlan Berk's in Chicago. Those are in real good shape, no holes, etc.
