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

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

contradictory numbering systems! |

GA This northern Georgia
Buc-ee’s has a 4-die machine; pressed on copper cents. This machine has a special place in my
heart: it’s the first Buc-ee’s machine I was able to work correctly. But to keep me from growing too confident,
many of the pennies rolled a bit short as shown in the photo. All locations have
the same designs but include the store’s location to make them
different. This location is in

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

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

bother” as he must reload his rifle. Our photo shows both sides of the

CENTRAL
STATES NUMISMATIC SOCIETY 2025 CONVENTION Based on last year’s highly popular
Pine Tree Shilling design, this year the CSNS offered attendees a token
representing the convention’s theme honoring Nebraska (the CSNS is a regional
ANA club representing several midwestern states and honors one each
year). These are thin, made of pewter,
and were hand-made in my presence at the convention on April 25, 2025. Being made by hand using basic machinery,
the look of each one might vary. Their creator says this will be a
series, and this is the second coin in that set. Silver versions were also created for sale
by the CSNS. Ours are pewter. While at the show, we were also
able to restock a limited number of the 2024 pine tree shilling coins

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. |
