TOLEDO WALLEYE/TOLEDO MUDHENS MACHINE RETURNED IN DECEMBER 2022 NEW TO OUR LISTINGS MAY 2023 I
finally had a chance to track down the elusive Toledo Walleye (hockey)
machine that was first reported on PennyCollector in December 2022. As some suspected, this appears to be the
same machine that had been located at the Toledo Mudhens’ minor league
baseball stadium. These
dies are worn (making many features indistinguishable) and roll slightly
short, and I was only able to get 4 sets after employees allowed me into the
locked arena. Rolled
on uncirculated copper cents. Complete
set of 4 pennies, with backstamp on each. |

ROLL: ECUADOR 100 SUCRES Bank roll of 20 x 100 sucres from Ecuador. These bimetal
coins are the diameter of a U.S. penny, but slightly thicker. Some commercial penny presses will not
accept these because of their thickness, but they are great for private
rollers or coin collectors. On a trip
to northern Michigan, about half the machines – all older machines – accepted

GREAT LAKES SCIENCE
CENTER Cleveland, Ohio Complete set of 3 coins from the

pressed on uncirculated copper cents.
New machine in 2018. Contrary to earlier listings on
pennycollector, these coins do not
have backstamps (a prior machine with different designs did, though). One of the coins is now blocked, so the
2022-2023 version of this machine is only a 2-die machine. We
have all three designs. Designs: Apollo space capsule;
museum building; logo |

hardware store on Main Street.

8-DIE MACHINE AT GREAT WOLF LODGE Mason, OH (near King’s Island) This
8-die machine dispenses zinc pennies and replaced a 4-die machine that
used your own quarters and pennies.
These designs have never been available on copper – just zinc. Unfortunately,
this machine rolls inconsistently. Expect most coins to be slightly short,
and some will be off-center. The
older retired set is available below as set #OH20. |

restock them. |

OHIO TURNPIKE – Mahoning Valley service plaza Westbound mile marker 237 Complete set of 4 pressed on new zinc pennies

off-centered - I have not found any of the turnpike machines rolling with
well-centered designs. They have a
high price point at the machine, the machines are slow as all get-out (as my
mom would say), and they are only available on zinc, so I have no current
plans to stock other locations along the turnpike. |
