Elongated coins (also known as pressed, squished, rolled, or smashed) are created by rolling a coin through a pressing machine. They are imprinted on one or both sides with an image or text. Elongated coins make great souvenirs because they're inexpensive and fun to trade.
Error coins are those coins which during the manufacturing process were improperly formed or stamped. These coins include but are not limited to double dies, cuds, mules, wrong planchet or material errors. Sites in this category provide information about collecting, identifying and authentication of error coins.

Grading of coins is a very subjective process. This category provides links to coin grading services and information about coin grading. Coin Grading services provide expert grading of coins for a fee and return the coin encapsulated in a plastic holder to protect it from damage. The holder or slab as they are known will list the coin, date, mint mark and grade for the coin. Coin grading services utilize a scale of 1 to 70, with MS (mint state) 70 being a perfect coin.
Please submit sites which provide information about grading coins and coin grading services to this category.
Sites featuring EXONUMIA: defined as tokens, medals, badges and other related items. The word 'exonumia' is derived from two classical roots: 'exo-', or 'out-of', and 'numis', a coin, so exonumia refers to coin-like objects, but not coins. Tokens are generally issued in place of currency and possess some monetary or trade value. They were originally issued because the government could not produce enough small change to meet the needs of trade. Now many are produced as promotional items or to control cash/currency flow. They are used in casinos, video game parlors, bus companies, etc. Medals are generally issued to commemorate an event or person, and are not designed to circulate. Although exonumia covers a wide area, this topic is limited. Military medals are under the area of Orders and Decorations. Casino and gaming chips also have their own area.
These are INFORMATION sites, not primarily shopping sites, which are located under "Shopping".
