The DN Disneyland Park Neverland Guide
Prototype Pressed Penny Guide

The Disneyland Prototype or Neverland pressed penny collection reference guide lists many of the scarcest Disneyland elongated coins or dies known. Generally the elongated coins in this group are known by advanced collectors as just "prototypes". However, the term is used very loosely and also includes most any elongated coin that, for one reason or another, was never "on-stage" or available to the public. Needless to say, some of these coins were rumors or even legends before we were ever able to secure a scan for verification. Some still are.

References to estimates of coins known to be in the hands of collectors are based on coins known by ParkPennies.com to have been sold, seen or reported by trusted sources. Readers are advised that not all coins are held by "known collectors". Also, some coins may be counted twice as they pass through the hands of different collectors and previously unreported caches of coins can surface. Die status, that is, whether or not the die is still "open" or able to press more coins, is always uncertain, until the die is known to have been canceled.

"Reserved numbers" are sometimes held for coins reported or rumored but not yet confirmed or listed. Other "Reserved numbers" are held as chronological place holders for coins that may be reported or discovered in the future. This guide is not yet definitive. If you own or are considering the acquisition of an unlisted coin believed to be a "DN" coin, please contact us to request the reserved guide number, a courtesy guide listing or our opinion of provenance.

Off-denomination pressed coins are often scarce and sometimes are very much sought after. However, because coin listings are really listings of the dies that were used to press the coins, off-denomination coin variations such as nickel, dime, quarter, arcade token, etc. are only listed as prototypes if they were pressed on a prototype die.

Very few of the known off-denomination variations of Disney pressed coins, are currently listed. However, we hope to add them to our collection guides in the future. Collectors needing guide numbers for such coins today, need only add a suffix of N, D, Q etc. to the standard guide number, e.g. DN0019P for their cataloging purposes. And of course, if possible, please do send a scan of any denominational variations not already listed for inclusion in future guide updates.

Please excuse our informality. Although we are (repeatedly) told the preferred numismatic term is "Elongated Coins!", some rebellious, devil-may-care 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 (cent) novelties.

Some poor quality scans collected over the years from eBay auctions etc. have been used. We were unable to determine the image owner of one or two images. We hope the coin owners will contact us so we may give them proper credit and hopefully, obtain a better picture to share with you.

Please contact ParkPennies by email or anony-mousely if you have an addition, correction or comment to share as these descriptions have been shared with you. Reports and scans from fellow collectors build and improve the breath and depth of this reference resource for us all. Our thanks to those that have already shared scans for this project. Still, several missing scans are needed.

(Horizontal prototype elongated coin image) DISNEYLAND® Classic outlined image of Mickey’s face "hollow ears" with rays, ©DISNEY dot border grip on right side. Earliest known Disney elongated coin. (Centek prototype.)
This coin very similar in design to DL0001, DL0005, DL0007, and DL0019.
This Disney coin was pressed from a prototype die designed for use in a machine type that preceded the first installed Disneyland penny presses. Per the best information available to us at the time of this report: Examples are known in only a few collections as of 2007. Die status is reported as open. Still extremely scarce as of 2008.

This Disney coin is often called the "Straw Hat Mickey" or "Nifty Nineties Mickey". Mickey Mouse is in 1890’s summer clothing, as in the 1941 Disney short, The Nifty Nineties. Interviews by Robert Hoff of key people close to this prototype suggest that Vance Fowler may have been commissioned by Disney to provide this coin. However, the coin was never on-stage. The artwork is well executed and done in high relief. Per the best information available to us at the time of this report: Approximately 12 are believed to exist. Reported held by only a few collectors as of 2007. Die status was reported as open. Still extremely scarce as of 2008.

In addition to the length of the gripper slot, which could be the result of "cleaning", there are other differences between this coin and the three dot version, the DL0003 No evidence has been found that this coin was ever on-stage. In 2008, denominational variations of this coin were sold via internet auction. There are very few known examples of the DN0004. Die status is still unknown.

(Horizontal prototype elongated coin image) DISNEYLAND® with heavy "D" BEAR COUNTRY, small bear holding double outlined guitar, ©DISNEY, dot border, clean sharp grip slot. See also DL0002, DL0006 and our comparison page.
Many small differences make this a hard coin to spot. Key is the double outlined guitar which is mostly solid on the DL0006. Due to the few known examples of DN0005 and the lack of on stage documentation, we believe this coin was never on-stage. Die status is unknown.

(Horizontal prototype elongated coin image) Mickey Mouse with pistol; flat ears, outlined hat and lettering, FRONTIER LAND ©DISNEY Disneyland® 3 dot gripper slot, dot border. See also DL0010
On both DN0006 and DL0010 Mickey’s hat is outlined and completely open at the top. On DN0006 Mickey’s right ear is slightly outlined, grip arcs over 3 dots, curl on top of "Frontier" does not touch a dot. Border dots are smaller than on DL0010 and second dot from the right is out of alignment with the other border dots. On DL0010 Mickey’s right ear is totally flat, grip arcs over 5 dots, curl on top of "Frontier" touches a dot, border dots are larger than on DN0006 and second dot from the right is in alignment with the other border dots. Due to the scarcity of DN0006 available and lack of on-stage documentation we believed this coin was never on-stage. Very hard to find. Die status unknown.

Cluttered artwork has been suggested as the reason this coin was never on-stage. Per the best information available to us at the time of this report: About twenty-five or fewer cents were known in the hands of collectors. Non-native coin examples are known. Die status is unknown.

(Horizontal prototype elongated coin image) FANTASMIC! in open letters and underlined by a lightening bolt. Stars arc over an outlined Sorcerer Mickey Mouse standing arms outstretched in lower right. Disneyland © Enchanted Brooms from Fantasia dancing (appear to be flames) from left to right near a wire border..
Surely one of the most coveted Disneyland elongated coins.
Probably one of the most popular and sought after Never-Neverland coins.
Fantasmic! premiered (soft opening) in the Fall of 1991. Official start date of the show was Spring (March) 1992. Note that this coin has Disneyland © rather than the usual ©DISNEY. Cast Member interviews by R. Hoff and other strong evidence support the opinion that this coin was offered from a single die machine and never on-stage. Per the best information available to us at the time of this report: Fewer than 15 cents are estimated to exist, some non-native coin examples have been reported. Die status is unknown.

These three of the nine Snow White themed coins lack "©DISNEY". No evidence has been found to support an on-stage appearance of this set. Anecdotal evidence leads to the conclusion that test rolls were made, however, the lack of "©DISNEY" was noted and the dies returned to Eurolink to be corrected. Fewer than 25 of each are believed to exist. Die status unknown.

Cast Member interviews and related research by R. Hoff support the conclusion that these dies were engraved as penny-size in error. They were meant for use in the Disneyland nickel machine. The small penny sized die images left an unacceptable blank space at the end of the rolled coin. Corrected dies were ordered before the machine was placed on-stage. Per the best information available to us at the time of this report: It is estimated that approximately 7 Mickeys, 10 40th Anniversary and 5 Minnie’s native coin examples are believed to be in the hands of collectors. Examples also are known to exist on non-native coins. Die status is unknown.

(Vertical prototype elongated coin image) HAPPY NEW YEAR 1996, Santa Mickey, © Disney, e; Disneyland® Error date. See also DL0103 for the corrected "1997" nickel.
The 1996 New Year date is in error. The coin should have read 1997. Well, it was 1996 and it was New Years. It can happen.
ParkPennies.com interviews with Cast Members closely involved at the time, lead to the conclusion that the die was in the Park, however, it was never on-stage. The few known examples of this coin, the lack of on-stage documentation, as well as known test and miss-roll coins support collector and Cast Member recollections. Die status unknown.

These coins, pressed on the prototype die shaft, have a train image that is difficult to recognize. Replacements DL0153 -DL0156 reduced the view to just the locomotive and tender while increasing the image size. Reported by a well known private collector.

(Horizontal prototype elongated coin image) DISNEYLAND® image of a sternwheeler steamboat reminiscent of Disneyland's Mark Twain Riverboat, ©DISNEY. NO inscription, no border, no back stamp.
For similar coins with the inscription "MARK TWAIN RIVERBOAT" please see the on-stage DL0249.

Based on early coin examples, the penny press machine placed on-stage outside Bonanza Outfitters on 7/16/04, vended the DL0249 coin as the button "C" selection from the very start. However, the machine's marquee originally displayed a "DN0034 image" and only later a "DL0249 image" as the button "C" selection.
So what became of the original coin? According to trusted sources, a die which matched the original DN0034 marquee artwork, was proposed and rejected. Given the original machine marquee was made using the DN0034 artwork, we are told and agree that DN0034 coins must have been pressed as proofs / marquee samples etc. even though the die was later replaced.
Therefore, we have reserved elongated coin collection guide number DN0034 for any coins representing this early prototype die. And yes, it appears another Indiana Jones style adventure awaits those seeking this coin. If your quest is successful, please do send us a scan of your find. Die status unknown.
