DL0195 vs. DL0408 Tinker Bell pressed quarters) These close-up detail images of the Tinker Bell DL0195 elongated quarter circa 2002, and the Tinker Bell DL0428 elongated quarter circa 2008 will help in the difficult task of identifying these two pressed coins and confirming Tinker Bell had a little nip n tuck? As shown, the earlier coin may be attributed by the convex lip lines verses the engraved mouth of the later DL0428. The earlier Tinker Bell also has a slight dimple at the edge of her smile. Neither coin features a backstamp.

The original Tinker Bell pressed quarter machine die, the DL0195, was first on-stage November 21, 2002 in The Main Street Penny Arcade, button "C". It was reported as broken in June or July of 2008 and was replaced by the very similar Tinker Bell pressed quarter die, the DL0428, in July of 2008. Neither coin offered a backstamp.
