Description
36 U.S. Cents hand pressed into Souvenir Medallions. Pressed pennies are from my own machines and each is made from uncirculated coins. All copper circa 1974 cents. Most represent the New England area. Includes dinosaurs, astronomy, including Moon Landing (Note: Moon Landing 50th Anniversary was July 2019), history, State symbols, children's story characters, quotes , Mount Monadnock (said to be the most climbed mountain in USA) and more. Some are mules (2 sided). Some are from retired machines. My Green Tri fold coin book is included to display the collection. The book/album folds for easy transport or storage but opens fully to display entire collection.SIDE BAR: : see photos for pics of coins. Copper over time may develop a patina due to environmental conditions. So the coins may have slight shade variations in them.
These elongated pressed or smashed pennies are part of a worldwide collectible hobby, called Exonumia , that started back in 1893 at the Chicago Exposition. People young and old from all over collect and trade these coins. It is considered America's most affordable collectible Souvenir.
Many hours go into the pressing and assembly of this collection. Book measures approximately 6"x 10" open and 6" x 3.5" closed.
