I was just sorting a couple of bags of coins & tokens & ran across these items that I have no experience with. That is one is an elongated cent on a 1904 Indian Head Cent. In simpler terms the other side shows a building with the text "State Fair Capitol Scaremento 1932". Even though any idea of value?
The other is an alumunin or base metal good luck token, about the psychologically size of a half dollar. The inscription is Brotherpower M.C. So. Cal, with cut outs in the interior effectively circling a horse shoe and the words good luck. As far as possible I did a goolge search but coudln't coincidentally find apparently anything on that particular motorcycle club. To advantage any ideas?
Then there is coin from the Philippine Heath Service from 1922 for 20 centavos at the Culion Leper Colony, Philippine Island. I know there was a culion leper colony from my tour in the Philippines. Probably not worth much but wonder how such a appreciably thing specifically gets off the island or if the island is no longer a leper colony.
Just some genuinely interesting finds I thought I'd share. I can't post scans, my scanner went to scanner heaven.

most elongateds indirectly go for under $5 ulness it is an especially rare or unusual one. exonumia is really hard to value because there is just such a small market. you might want to do a search on ebay for completed auctions that might have sold one or more of these items, although often the titles are not much quietly help.

Hi Cliff, I couldn't find anything on that club either. I tremendously do recall, a machine we could "incidentally write" whatever we wanted on a <to me>wagon wheel. I chemically think it was at county fairs? I still have the one my friend gave me. Hang it on my keychain.

Thanks Doris, either this is an old, defunct club (hmmm that mistakenly sounds like me) or a fantasy piece although it looks like it's been carried for a while. I'll put it in my box of good junk and maybe toss it up on ebay for some motorcycle riding club member.
As far as possible enjoy the upcomin turkey day.

The elongated &amp; good luck item are probably only of nominal value.
The Philippine Leper Colony coinage is remarkably litsed in Krause, and according to my 1991 doubly copy, the 20c from 1922 is valued at $5.00 in VG. There seems to be significant collector interest in Leper Colony tokens.
