TORONTO
RAILWAY MUSEUM This
is a fantastic museum in downtown Toronto just a couple blocks from Union
Station. A coin press makes three
designs on bright brass tokens supplied by the machine. The tokens are slightly larger than a
penny. Designs: caboose; Cabin D (an
interlocking tower); 1896 Don Station (a relocated train station). #ON16 – set of 3 - $7.99 |
CN
TOWER CLICK HERE FOR AN ARTICLE MAKING SENSE Obverse: English Reverse: French Perhaps
the most famous structure in Toronto, the CN Tower has several coin presses
but most are duplicate designs. Out of
4 machines (16 coins), 7 are unique designs.
We
pressed a small quantity on uncirculated U.S. nickels at the locations,
eliminating the duplicate designs.
Three have the same artwork but mention different elevation levels for
various features of the CN Tower (the SkyPod, the Glass Floor, and the
Lookout. These
are inscribed in French on one side and English on the other. Photos show both sides – you are buying 7
coins. The frosted look on two coins
is the result of lighting – they have the same look as the other coins. Note that some roll short. We
were only able to roll 2 sets for selling. These machines are all reportedly
retired. #ON17 - set of 7 - $34.99 ONLY

NIAGARA
FALLS, CANADA Niagara
Falls is the anti-Disney. Disney takes
an artificial concept and makes it as good as they can. Niagara Falls, Ontario, takes a natural
beauty and does whatever it can to harm the experience. READ MORE I have limited quantities of these coins
because it can be so frustrating to get them. Machines are being removed from the Niagara
Falls area because of the loss of the penny in Canada. The locations with tokens seem to be

TABLE ROCK WELCOME
CENTRE FOOD COURT Niagara
Falls, Ontario Set of 4 from the
food court machine on the 1st floor of the visitor center. The hand-crank machine has room for four
dies, but one is blocked out (it was a “Maid of the Mist” design for the boat
tour, but the company conducting the tours has changed to Hornblower). The Maid of the Mist die is still on the
machine, but most collectors probably skip right past it. The machine supplies the U.S. cents used to roll the
coins; they are circulated coins, and almost always zinc pennies. The photo shows a representative set, but
all coins will be circulated and show flaws from dirt, staining, and
handling. Designs: Horseshoe
Falls; maple leaf; CN Tower (Toronto); Maid of the Mist As of
February 2017, all machines at Table Rock are reportedly gone. #ON09-4

AMISH ACRES NAPPANEE, INDIANA Amish Acres was a shopping and amusement

to retire but couldn’t find a single buyer.
Parts of the complex were sold at auction, and new owners have
pledged to continue some of its operations, perhaps under a different
name. We arranged to purchase the 4
designs from their penny press rolled on pennies, nickels, dimes and
quarters. When set up at Amish Acres,
the machine only pressed pennies, but the other denominations were rolled by
the machine’s owner after its removal from the shopping center. We are selling these as circulated coins. The pennies
definitely show signs of being pressed on circulated copper cents. The nickels, dimes & quarters range
from shiny uncirculated coins to an occasional coin showing some
wear/patina. |
