Canceled Elongated Coins
This Canceled Elongated Coin Guide is currently small. However, chances are that it will grow. Canceled coins or dies are the focus here. These are not just retired or taken off-stage coins. These coins or dies have not only been taken off-stage, they have been modified, engraved or even mutilated in such a way as to prevent the pressing of any additional "original" coins.
Collectors have asked for "retired" Disney dies to be canceled for years, that I know of. However, just recently we have seen evidence that the dies are really being "permanently retired" via cancellation. This is good news for collectors that that made an extra effort to press at the park while they were first on-stage or collectors that had to acquire "retired" coins from another collectors at a premium price. Canceled dies not only made additional coins, like the ones listed here, available, but they also add confidence that the original coins will become more collectible over time.
ParkPennies is aware that a good number of Disneyana collectors have an interest in collecting these coins and dies. This guide will strive to add additional examples of canceled coins as they become available.
Please contact ParkPennies by email or anony-mousely if you have an addition, correction or comment.

This is a close up of the Tinker Bell stamp used to cancel the DL0121, DL0122 and DL0123 Mulan pressed penny set. For clarification we have added an outline of a similar Tinker Bell image to the left of the canceling mark.
(The name "Tinkerbell" is not used by Disney.)
This is a representative image of the Tinker Bell canceling mark used on this set of coins. However, each coin type in this set may have a slightly different canceling mark as each coin type has a separate and slightly unique engraving or etching. (See also CDL0121-123 type 2 coins.)

(Horizontal image) RETIRED. This stamp featured on the DL0121, DL0122 and DL0123 Mulan set pressed penny set. This Mulan set is the first set of canceled dies or canceled coins offered by Disney. 188 sets were pressed for sale by Disney Auctionears. About six sets were known sold via these auctions as of mid 2005 at the time the three canceled dies were also auctioned. (See also CDL0121-123 type 2 coins.)

This is a representative image of this style reverse or back stamp. However, each coin type in this set may have a slightly different reverse image as each coin type has a separate and slightly unique back stamp engraving.

The Mulan dies were then etched with the word "Retired" over the gripper and sold by Disney Auctionears. The new owner pressed ten cents, nickels and dimes with this added mark. None have back stamps. A vertical coin ridge on the CDL0122 type 2 coins is evidence of a crack.

DETAIL
This is a close up of the small bit of "RETIRED" as seen on a "standard" roll coin. It was added to the DL0121, DL0122 and DL0123 Mulan pressed penny set after the first coins were pressed. This mark and a blank back are the defining differences between the first and second Mulan canceled coin types. Click on the image to see a large close up of this coin showing both the "RETIRED" and Tinker Bell etchings used to cancel this die set.
