I just love finding squashed pennies! Silver is pretty good too.
Anybody know when the practice began, of flattening, then stamping something on the coin,,,??

Much earlier than I would ever have guessed. Per Wikipedia they were first created at the Worlds Columbia’s Exposition, held in 1893 in Chicago.
Great finds !
"Elongated Pennies" were made in machines that were often seen at older Fair's and Carnivals.
They still make these machines but there no so common these days.
