These mysterious bugs are a bit larger than the characters of the mint year that's printed on the penny. Since there seems to be enough experience around here is there anyone willing to ID these?

Yes, those are BMBW (the M does not stand for mysterious) stage 1 nymphs.
(one key feature being the white bands on the antennae, just visible in your image)
Extreme pest insect. Look around for more. I have only seen two BMBW nymphs here
this year (on blackberry), many days apart.
