One coin above, was pressed for the 50th Anniversary of the Snow White Motion Picture Premier and used in a collector issue PNC. The other coin was a free give away coin for a special event at Disneyland. Often custom engraved coins are distributed to non-collectors, potential customers, and event guests. As you can see, people usually don't want to part with their "smashed penny" and keep them for many years.
There are many people that engrave custom elongated coin dies and we hope to add a few of them to the www.PressedPennies.com directory over the next year. Some do very nice work and will press the coins for you inexpensively if you do not have a penny press machine of your own or don't wish to purchase or rent one for your event. For now, we have a few links where you can buy pressed pennies or contact elongated coin engravers.
