Pressed Penny's
I should post this on the machine finds thread but I want to separate this from that. And that thread is already long.
I found Several of these at my dump banks every now and than. It's kinda cool since most of my kids are collecting them whenever we vacation. Cheep souvenir and they don't take up any luggage space.
On a recent trip to Greenfield Village here in Dearborn Michigan, We ran into a guy who is very serious about his collection. He also trades them on line.
He said he keeps a roll of copper Penny's just for the Penny Press whenever they vacation. Apparently there is quite a market for these.
Anyway I got a shot of the ones I pulled out of the coin return or trash at my dump banks.
Te interesting thing is that on the flip side on two of them although pressed flat and smooth you can see the image of the coin still in this case a 1970D Lincoln, (Not sure if it's small or large date?) and on another the memorial. all the others the image is obliterated.
I don't believe you can guarantee the outcome when using these presses. but thought it was kind of neat and wanted to share it with you Guy's.....and Gal's.
Any one here collect them? Do tell.
