Two elongated coins rolled at Qasr El-Yahud, Israel, on U.S. copper cents.

See: http://209.221.138.252/Details.aspx?location=198981

This specific machine has been long gone and no new coins can be rolled / smashed / elongated!!!

Most of the publicly placed machines in Israel had pre-loaded US. Cents (Pennies) in them. Most were copper plated zinc coins (zincers), so finding these two coins on pre 1982 copper Cents is very very rare!!!

Qasr al-Yahud (Arabic: قصر اليهود, lit. "The citadel of the Jews", Hebrew: קאסר אל יהוד), also known as Al-Maghtas, is the western section of the traditional site of the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist on the Jordan River (Matthew 3:13–17). It has also been traditionally identified with two episodes from the Hebrew Bible, as one of the possible points through which the Israelites have crossed the Jordan river as they reached the Promised Land (Joshua 3), and as the site where prophet Elijah ascended to heaven (2 Kings 2:1–14).

"Qasr al-Yahud" is actually an Arabic name given to the nearby Monastery of St John the Baptist, but is also being used for the West Bank section of the baptism site itself.

The spot is located in Area C of the West Bank, and it sits directly across the eastern section (on Wikipedia as "Al-Maghtas"; known officially in Jordan as "Baptism Site "Bethany Beyond the Jordan"") and close to the Palestinian city of Jericho.

Since the Six-Day War in 1967, the baptism site has been under Israeli occupation, and the site and facilities are currently administered by the Israeli Civil Administration and the Israeli Ministry of Tourism as part of a national park, where baptism ceremonies can be performed.

The Jordanian side uses the names Al-Maghtas, Bethany beyond the Jordan and Baptism(al) Site, while the western part is known as Qasr al-Yahud. The nearby Greek Orthodox Monastery of St John the Baptist has a castle-like appearance (thus qasr, "castle"), and tradition holds that the Israelites crossed the river at this spot (thus al-Yahud, "of the Jews"). The monastery is known in Arabic both as Deir Mr Yuhanna, lit. "Monastery of Saint John", and Qasr el-Yahud.

What you see is what you get - I did not use any stock photos for this sale.

I combine shipping!

The combined shipping policy is relevant FOR PINS, WINGS, SAMPLE SLABS, COINS, ELONGATED COINS, TOKENS, MEDALS, and other SMALL ITEMS, is the full price for the auction with the highest shipping cost and then one additional dollar ($1) for each additional auction won.

Larger items will be packed, weighed, and combined as well.

If you win a few of my sales, please ask to receive a combined invoice for everything you won.

Returns are not accepted, unless I make a mistake in the listing or accidentally send you the wrong item (and such mistakes do, unfortunately, happen, though seldom).

If you have ANY questions - please ask ahead of the closing of the auction, and please be kind as to give me a few hours to respond.

Shipping is always via the cheapest method I can find, unless you want me to ship it any other way, such as Priority USPS, UPS, or FedEx. I can ship with any carrier, any way you want!

I use's system to calculate the shipping cost according to your location.  Sometimes,'s shipping cost system is stupidly wrong, and the cost is way too much.  Especially with larger and heavier items!!!  I have no idea why, since I always enter the correct weight and dimensions of the packed item. Nevertheless, if you think the shipping cost is too high, please send me a message, tell me your zip code and what you see as the shipping cost, and I'll check to see if I can ship for less via UPS or FedEx!

This item comes from a smoke-free, dog-loving home. We have a beautiful dog, who loves to spread her hair on everything.  Although I do my best to clean everything that I ship out, encountering some of her lovely hair is a possibility.

I love to recycle, so there's a good chance that I will ship in a previously used envelope or box, and use paper and used grocery bags as packing and padding materials.

All of my store items have a MAKE AN OFFER option. If you make a stupid offer, I might counter with a stupid offer of my own. An offer for a few dollars less is reasonable.  An offer for half of the listed price is not serious. 

Good luck & thank you for buying from me!
