26+The DL Disneyland Park On-Stage
Vintage Pressed Penny Guide
This Disneyland Park reference guide features all known pressed pennies, elongated coins or penny souvenirs ever issued "on-stage" or available to the general public inside the gates of the Disneyland® Park, Anaheim, California, USA. The collection is a varied, group of penny, nickel, dime and quarter elongated coins with several "Firsts" among them. For easier viewing, this guide is divided into pages of about 50 coins each. The direct page links are listed above by coin numbers, which were assigned chronologically. "Vintage" coins that most often have a "classic" look were generally issued through the 50th Anniversary of Disneyland Park with guide numbers DL0001 - DL0347.
Coins available outside the gates of Disneyland are listed in the other respective guides linked above. See also Disneyland Pressed Penny Back Stamps, Disneyland Canceled Coins and Disneyland Elongated Coin Test Rolls for additional details about coins in this "DL" Guide. For an easy visual of how the guide sections make one complete Disneyland Elongated Coin Collection, ParkPennies.com o offers a graphical overview of the Complete Disneyland Resorts Guide to Pressed Pennies and Elongated Coins.
Editor's note: We are often reminded that the preferred numismatic term is "Elongated Coins", some rebellious ParkPennies.com contributors are known to use more casual, fun terms like: pressed, flattened, crushed, squashed, rolled, mashed, smashed, stamped, squished, smushed, stretched, memory, keepsake, and souvenir to describe these fun penny souvenirs.

DL0001
Acknowledged as the first Disneyland "on-stage" elongated coin. Die and machine by Centek. Designer: Gene Calmelat. First on-stage June 1987. Off stage October 1987. Design is similar to DN0001, DL0005 and DL0007 - DL0007a . Note: This coin is larger in size and the "ray" that touches the bottom of the "D" in Disneyland is complete from border to ear. Standard grip image.
The DL0001 and DL0002 dies proved too soft and were easily damaged. Subsequently, the dies were returned to Centek and replaced with harder DL0005 and DL0006 dies featuring 1/8" smaller engraved images. (Per our 1990's interview with the person in charge of Centek at the time of the die replacements.)
An early Centek roll with a progressive gripper modification was reported by well-known collector Alan S. in 2007. Detail comparison early and on-stage DL0001's.

Acknowledged as the second Disneyland "on-stage" elongated coin. Die and machine by Centek. First
on-stage in June 1987. Off stage October 1987. Design is similar to DL0006, but
larger, with the most notable differences being a solid, versus outlined
bear. Note gripper slot is on
the right side.

(Horizontal souvenir pressed penny or elongated coin image)
DISNEYLAND®, Mickey Mouse head with rays, ©DISNEY, small image, thin rays,
reworked gripper slot. (See also DL0007a listing.)
This
die experiences several changes over its life. The first was the apparent
lengthening of the gripper slot, presumably done prior to placing it on
stage. Coins found to date
all show this rework. Due to
its design the die tended to clog with metal from the coins it
rolled. This is most
noticeable with the ray at the 2 o’clock position, which is often faint or
missing altogether. Later
this die was damaged by a hard coin or slug, which left an arc on the coin.

In
both DL0010 and DN0006 Mickey’s hat is outlined and completely open. In
DL0010 Mickey’s right ear is totally flat, the gripper slot arcs over 5
dots, the curl above FRONTIER touches a dot, the border dots are large,
and the second dot from the right is aligned with the other border
dots. In DN0006 Mickey’s
right ear is slightly outlined, the gripper slot arcs over 3 dots, the curl
above Frontier does not touch a dot, the border dots are small, and the
second dot from the right is out of alignment with the other border
dots. Related: Pressed Penny Variations Guide.

DL0010a
As DL0010, except the tip of Mickey’s hat is filled. (Often called "A filled hat Mickey".
The filled portion of Mickey’s hat (and other places in the die) was due to a break in and erosion of the die. Filling in of Mickey’s hat varies from a slight amount which looks like a small lump (when the die started to fail) to completely filled at the time of its replacement. Replaced by DL0110.

This

the details have proceeded from very clear early rolls to rather blurred
rolls from 1998 and after.
Removed from stage to make room for the 5/2005 Magical Milestones Anniversary Set and did not return. (Probably replaced by at three-play penny press machine.)
