Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Quarter Press Machine
This long awaited "penny" press machine, once featured on the now sadly closed Disneyland Arcade Shop web site, has arrived! Need we mention that fellow Disneyland pressed penny, Haunted Mansion, and NBC collectors have been asking for any news, even a premonition? Now it’s here and complete with a ghostly image of our favorite hitchhiking companions, Phineas Queeg, Gus Gracey, or Ezra Dobbins each on the back of a coin in this set!
At the time of this writing, the cabinet is barely visible from the high traffic walkway just a few feet away and is themed so much like other fixtures in the shop. Anyone without good (ParkPennies.com ) location information might walk right past it. Matter of fact, an "advanced collector" I happen to know, (Boomer), walked through the Le Bat en Rouge shop and missed finding the machine the first time. ParkPennies hopes you’ll find this machine before it joins the sprit world of retired pressed pennies.
Update:
Now Boomer claims he saw it, but, thought it was a Disney designer coffin for advanced Disney elongated coin collectors!
This may be a bit of a dead subject, but, you may also be interested in the ParkPennies.com article about the many Disneyland Haunted Mansion and Nightmare Before Christmas quarters.
The original set of quarters offered by this machine, DL0268, DL0269 and DL0270 are described below. Since it's debut, the coffin penny press has offered many different Haunted Mansion quarters and Nightmare Before Christmas elongated quarters. Collectors may be interested in the ParkPennies.com article about all the coins with the Haunted Mansion theme, the Haunted Mansion and Nightmare Before Christmas pressed quarters guide and the Haunted Mansion quarter backstamps variations page.
