Cross collectibles can be rare finds. Philatelic Numismatic Combinations, PNC’s, sometimes contain Disneyland elongated coin gems! The pictures above are examples of some PNC’s that were issued featuring Disneyland "Wannabe" coins. (Full descriptions, images and guide numbers from the ParkPennies DW Disneyland Wannabe Guide can be view at the bottom of this page.)
There are also three "e" for Eurolink Design Corporation replaces the dot nearest the center of the gripper slot. Gunther PNC’s commemoratives shown above. They are Disneyland’s 35th Birthday, Mickey’s 60th Birthday and Snow White’s 50th. The Disneyland 35th and Mickey Mouse 60th share the same DW0007, Mickey’s 60th Birthday coin. (As do some other "e" for Eurolink Design Corporation replaces the dot nearest the center of the gripper slot. Gunther PNC’s not shown.) When a single coin is shared by several PNC’s, The Guide will list the coin only once and it is given a single number because there was just one die. To see the Mickey Mouse 60th ec up close, click here: DW0007 nickel variation DW0007n quarter variation DW0007q. There is also an "e" for Eurolink Design Corporation replaces the dot nearest the center of the gripper slot. Gunther Snow White 50th PNC shown. It features Snow White and the seven dwarfs all on the same coin!It was issued for the 50TH ANNIVERSARY of Snow White, the animated Disney motion picture, in 1987. As you can see, the Snow White PNC is much like the Mickey Mouse PNC’s in design and was also issued with coin denominations of penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. Yes, I have a scan of the penny for you here: DW0005. Values are all over for these PNC’s ranging from about $20.00 up to a few hundred dollars each. The nickel, dime and quarter Mickey Mouse 60th are at the higher end of the range with the Pan Art postcard and Mickey Mouse 60th zinc cent still today’s bargains in my humble opinion.
