MOTHMAN MUSEUM SET OF 5 Point
Pleasant, West Virginia Complete set of 5 from the museum
dedicated to the mythical beast “Mothman.” The machine charges more for these coins,
but fortunately we are still able to roll them on our own uncirculated copper
pennies. The machines made by The Penny
Press Machine Company compress 5 designs onto a die ring that normally would
carry 4 designs. The pennies generated
are shorter than standard elongated pennies, but this is intended – they do
not roll short (as you can tell from the border dots). Each coin also has a backstamp,
shown as the 6th coin in the photo.
You are purchasing 5 pennies. ONLY A
COUPLE SETS AVAILABLE |
POINT
PLEASANT TRADING CO. SET OF 5 Point
Pleasant, West Virginia Next door to the Mothman Museum, the success of the museum’s penny press
prompted this store’s owners to purchase a similar 5-die machine for their
shop in November 2024. When we added
these to our sales, the machine was still undocumented on Pennycollector. As with the Mothman
Museum, this machine charges more for the coins, but fortunately we are able
to roll them on our own uncirculated copper pennies. The machines made by The Penny
Press Machine Company compress 5 designs onto a die ring that normally would
carry 4 designs. The pennies generated
are shorter than standard elongated pennies, but this is intended – they do
not roll short (as you can tell from the border dots). Each coin also has a backstamp,

NIAGARA FALLS STATE PARK For whatever reason, Pennycollector has trouble keeping track of the machines
in the state park – probably because collectors who report information have
trouble finding them all. As of August 8, 2023, there were six PennyCollector
machines with 4 dies each. Two were
not working properly. Locations: 4 machines at Cave of
the Winds building (2 at entrance, 2 in food area) 1 machine in Top of the Falls gift
shop 1 machine in Visitor Center gift
shop Again,
we can only offer sets from 4 machines: 3 from Cave of the Winds, and 1 at
Top of the Falls We have removed the Pennycollector
machine numbers because Pennycollector has two
different listings for the Cave of the Winds gift shop and employs two
contradictory numbering systems! |

Parker movie The Great Locomotive Chase. The original locomotive is part of the

In a few short years Alex Mruk has become one of the most prolific

A real showcase coin, this
oversized coin featuring Winnie the Pooh was rolled

for a military history group and features Winnie the Pooh saying “oh bother”
as he must reload his rifle. Our photo shows both sides of the
coin. These are pressed on circulated

THE CHICAGO COIN SHOWS Annual conventions of the American Numismatics
Association and the Central States Numismatic Society are held in the Chicago
area, creating great opportunities for collectors to build their collections

RAY DILLARD’S LAST PROJECT: CSNS 2020 SHOW
COIN FOR CANCELED CONVENTION, COMES WITH BLUE SOUVENIR CARD When Ray
passed away, the die for the Central States Numismatic Society’s 2020 show
coin was still in his machine, and a bag of rolled pennies was discovered
next to the machine. These were sent
by TEC officers to the CSNS to fulfil Ray’s
obligation. The
convention, however, was canceled due to COVID. The coins sat in storage until 2024, when
they were offered at the convention in May.
These are
rolled on copper cents with stained/dyed red backgrounds. They were not cleaned or polished, so
some show minor stains or patina.
I have weeded out any with major staining. (I have come across a
couple with different backs, and one rolled on zinc) The design
depicts a steam locomotive emerging from the CSNS
logo, with dates and location for the canceled 2020 show. This is a
rare opportunity to secure an important coin in Ray’s long history in our
hobby. These will come with a souvenir card (about the size of a
baseball card) that we created to highlight this coin’s history. |

of these convention coins rolled by Ray Dillard for the April 2018
convention. They are rolled on copper
cents with stained backs showing Lincoln’s head and the penny’s date. Due to handling over the years, I
characterize them as being in circulated
condition. |
