CR Rom Book - Elongated Coin World

last updated February 9, 2004

THE Information Source !!

for an amazing and historical hobby.

THE BEST, MOST COMPLETE, & MOST ACCURATE

information about

elongated coin vending machine locations.

Our 4th year continues

with ecwCD2K+3 !!

Every modern collector wants a picture index guide of

coin-operated machine made modern elongateds,

a "Proper Guide for Today's Collector !!!"

You'll wonder how you ever managed before.

- a hobby

(also known as Elongated, Smashed, Pressed, Rolled etc. Pennies, Tokens or Coins)

"What's this all about ?"

"Why another location index guide ??"

This is not another elongated guide.

This is the only elongated location guide you'll want, and here's why.

There is simply nothing else like it. No published list of locations exists, not with scans of ec's.

Hard copy versions would make this information simply unaffordable.

Compare the price of this CD with any paperbound reference/text book of similar volume.

The high expense would also obsolete the information quickly.

No-one (in their right mind) would do the work required to build and research this CD.

This is the only CD item of it's kind you'll find containing the modern information supplied.

Nothing else covers the topic of Coin-Operated Penny Press Issues. Nothing!

This CD presents ec's at a single source!

We've combed the Internet, talked to collectors and vendors, traded and bought ec's.

Travelled much of the eastern USA personally to merge and combine, sifted and sorted.

We present the best elongated coin information available.

Worldwide & USA elongated coins are presented with an easy to use, universally available,

standardized, index referencing system which directly references an elongated coin to a location.

The ecwROM now contains over ~~3,500~~ 5,600 ec scans, from many hundreds of locations.

Each ec scanned at 200dpi grayscale to show design details.

*Want Exclusive and Elusive* identifying information about World Trade Center elongateds?? How about detailed Instructions, Pictures & Diagrams of the inner workings of coin operated penny elongating machines??**


You can have all this and still more...
There is even information about many of the vender machine companies. Information about the hobby and collecting. Listings & scans of 'Those little tiny initials' on elongateds? Further... How would you like the ability to search your elongated coins in a simple text document ? Eh? Imagine you have an ec with a dolphin and the state name 'Florida' only? You know the kind. Where is it from? Which location? Which machine? Just search the document for 'dolphin' or 'Florida" and the software will highlight each known ec with a dolphin or the word Florida. Each 'hit' let you know where on the CD it is and if a scan is there. Compare to see if it's a match. No longer will you need to relegate these to the generic pile. You know you can't do this anywhere else ! Still, need more reasons? ... It's a cdROM, so it holds millions of bits of data. No need to be online to use it. Great for your travelling laptop. Just like a book. And just like a book you can make notes and add information or scans yourself. (Remember to request a read/write CD for this feature.) Because you can view this page you already have everything you need to use the CD Tested on systems with , &

See what we're hearing, about the previous ecwCD2K+2 version ....

Hi Egon, I wanted to tell how I like your cd. I have already been able to identify a few ec's I have on my unknown list. I have been scanning my collection, since Istarted it. I have a bunch that are not on your disk, but I don't have extras. Would you be interested in copies of the scans? (part of an email from one of our first supporters) Thanks,Genny Carr, Buffalo

Hi Egon - Okay, good! Your CD helped us score 154 different pennies in our travels, so I owe you a debt of gratitude. It explains why I've tried to be as helpful as possible in return. You deserve a lot of credit, and support. I will be a frequent emailer of pictures and locations, if I can. And I'll do grayscale GIFs for you!!! - a win-win proposition! Remember, my first selection from you... ROCKINGHAM, NJ!!! Best regards - Jim Giarrusso, NJ (part of email received after Jim's 1st elongated collecting road trip with ecwCD2K2)

"The scans alone are a very valuable resource." stated Rich Hayes (checked out ecwCD2K2 at the Hoosiers Happening 2002)

Hi Egon, How are things? I am looking forward to your new version of the CD. I keep it in my CD tray all the time so I can look things up on it! It is very handy, especially when we are not online!! Keep up the good work! - Julie Caton (proofreader who lived with and road tested ecwCD 2K2 & now ecwCD 2K+3!)

"You're going to be hearing an increasing number of elongated coin collectors refer to

as THE reference."
