DISNEY COMPANY 100TH ANNIVERSARY PENNIES complete sets
of 69 coins This set
includes the second version of the Thor penny (explanation below) A few coins
may be off-center due to machine problems that affected entire batches The new Thor die: Early versions of the coin were pressed on a defective die that
was probably not hardened sufficiently.
Coins pressed on this first die were noticeably wrinkled or wavy. A second die with proper hardening appeared
later in 2023 (we got ours in October).
The set of 69 we are selling today includes the later die, and are
smooth. We may have some of the
wavy (first) dies for sale later. We
do not maintain a waiting list or want list. If you bought our original incomplete set of 63 100th anniversary
coins, the original wavy/wrinkled coin (first die) was included in the set
you received. Photo of wrinkled/wavy first die Makeup set for
prior purchasers: If you purchased
our earlier incomplete set of 63 coins, we have a few sets of the remaining 6

RIVIERA RESORT FINALLY AVAILABLE We don’t know the complete official story, but
here’s a reliable unofficial version of these sets. When Riviera was getting ready to open in
December 2019, Disney’s vendor placed an 8-die machine in the building and
activated it. The machine was
reportedly available for only a single day (December 10) during media
previews, when a Disney executive apparently caught wind of its existence and
ordered it removed. The machine was
placed in a closet – so near, and yet so far, and we know of no public access
to it for more than three years. There were two factors at play. First, and this is definitely unofficial
but comes from a reliable collector, Disney Vacation Club wants to keep its
properties “exclusive” to members and objected that a penny press would
attract unwashed collectors like you and me.
Second, the vendor who controls all penny presses at Disney World has
been known to overstep its bounds in the past, so placing a machine in a
discouraged location is not a huge surprise.
Remember, the vendor put its Pennycollector.com inscription on the
border of the Toy Story Land set of 4 Pixar pennies a few years ago, and had
to replace those dies within a few days.
They also switched to circulated coins in all their machines in 2021,
which caused a ton of complaints to Disney about its quality standards and
resulted in the vendor going back to uncirculated zinc cents. For whatever reason, the machine was returned
to a public area in mid-March 2023.
And that’s good news. [Presscoins #WDW23002-23009] Complete set of 8 zinc pennies

50th ANNIVERSARY ARCADE CARD We were able to obtain a small number of arcade
cards issued for the 50th anniversary celebration. These are used; do not expect them to have
any value still loaded on them. The
cards are the same size as credit cards. Check out our
other arcade cards, Disney Dollars, and Disney tokens |

HAPPIEST CELEBRATION NEMO QUARTER Another
quarter rolled at The Living Seas during the Happiest Celebration on Earth in
2005, featuring Nemo. Presscoins
#2005-59. Rolled on a circulated
quarter. |
ANIMAL KINGDOM LODGE We have a
blemished set from the Animal Kingdom Lodge (which is normally our set
#RES11). There is significant staining
on the Mickey and Minnie coins, but it does not show up in the photo. We have not attempted to clean the
coins. Pressed on pre-1982 copper
cents. |
DISNEY JUNIOR/IN CHARACTER SHOP
BLEMISHED SETS We still have a few of the blemished sets from the In Character store
featuring characters from Disney Junior programs. In early 2021 Disney’s vendor placed
circulated zinc pennies in all the machines, leading to customer
dissatisfaction and a change in policy.
Unfortunately, we bought too many and can’t sell them at ordinary
prices. Here's a chance to acquire some pennies below their original cost,
perhaps to fill a gap in your collection or to give to children who will be
more familiar with these characters.
This is the complete set of 8 from this location. Photo shows a sample set. Each
set will be different (but similar) in quality. |

Leaving the Laughing Place Tribute to Splash Mountain When Splash
Mountain’s transition was announced a couple years ago, Don Cade produced a
penny showing Br’er Rabbit leaving home.
The original coins were pressed with backstamps mentioning the Disney
parks and were given catalog #DT0012 on the Parkpennies website. We have
acquired a small inventory without backstamps. They are rolled on uncirculated copper
cents. |
