Thor 100 Years Die Replacement
 
Monday, December 18th, 2023
 
 

At Pop Century Resort there was a 100 Years of Wonder penny that had the character Thor on the design. The die with this design was put on-stage the end of March 2023. About a month after this coin was available, we began hearing reports that there appeared to be something wrong with the die because the pennies being pressed were wavy. We are still researching this but somewhere a few months ago the die was replaced since the problem was corrected.

For the defective Thor design, we have assigned a catalog number of WDW23071b. Designs being pressed from the replacement die have been given the catalog number WDW23102. Since dies are computer engraved by a laser it's very doubtful to find any differences between the original die and it's replacement.
