Pressed penny backstamps, reverses or "mules" that were on-stage or available to the general public inside the gates of the Disneyland ® Park, USA are the focus for this guide. Disneyland was the first and as of early 2009, still the only Disney park to offer elongated coins with backstamps.

This guide is provided for collectors that collect only backstamps or have separate backstamp collections. There is more than one page to this guide; direct page links are listed above by penny press machine coin numbers, which were assigned chronologically.

I must confess that because this guide is redundant, it often is the last to get caught up. However, all backstamps are listed separately as they appear at the park in the associated full featured guides. I hope one day, to have all the guides and references up to date, but, for now, my goal is just not to fall any further behind!

Elongated coin reverses or "pressed penny" backstamps available outside the gates of Disneyland Park are listed in the other respective guides linked above. See also " Disneyland Resort Elongated Coin Guides", "Disneyland Canceled Coins" and "Disneyland Elongated Coin Test Rolls" for additional details about coins in this "DL-R" Guide.

For an easy visual of how the guide sections make one complete Disneyland Elongated Coin Collection, ParkPennies.com offers a graphical overview of the Complete Disneyland Resorts Guide to Pressed Pennies and Elongated Coins.

Although the numismatic term is "Reverses", we use that term interchangeably with the more casual term, "Backstamp".

And now... the moment you've all been waiting for! The amazing, the stupendous, the colossal, the eighth wonder of the world... the back side of PENNY !
