A Penny for your Thoughts on a Pressed Penny Album

Since the earliest designed elongated coin which was created by Charles Damm for the 1901 Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, the collection of a pressed penny album has been a growing hobby among many people from many different countries and walks of life. From the youngest inquisitive hands turning the crank, to the oldest eyes watching the penny stretch out looking to remember the great times these unique souvenirs can represent. There are simply hundreds of books and articles surrounding this subject and while not as common as coin collecting, it is just as popular.

There are three classes of pressed pennies and coins you can fill your collection albums with, the first is called “oldies” and were mainly distributed at nationwide fairs and exhibitions. The second class is known as the “modern elongated” type which were made from 1965 to about 1985. These were mainly private penny press designers. The third class is the “contemporary elongated” which was the commercial introduction of penny presses into the mainstream of society. There are many notable commercial penny press companies that produce collectible and commemorative pennies for your pressed penny album sets.
