Elongated cent

Anyone know which World's Fair this is from? Looks like Hebrew at the bottom of the obverse.

From the date on the coin and mint mark, I would guess the Panama - Pacific expo in San Francisco.

According to this listing it's from the New York 1939 World's Fair.

The machine that made it was probably in or near the Jewish Palestine Pavilion.

I do know that there's a new reference book on elongated coinage coming out very soon. Ive been given an inside track that the images have been finished. As a elongated collector I cannot wait.
