I'll check and get back to you. They are in my daughter's room, and she is napping.

I'm pretty sure that the ones that I need are only into the 20's now, maybe I need 20 more or so. My rule is that I have to find them, or be give them. I just can't buy them. If I did, I could probably finish it on ebay today.

I'll list the ones I need in a minute. They are really difficult to find now.

Cool, I'll dig through my daughter's piggy bank and if she has one of the pennies you need I'll drop it, incognito, on your kitchen floor next time I'm over. This way you'll feel as though you found it on your own.

I wonder why the 1920's are harder to find? Less cash is being used these days and pennies are far less relevant. It could prove to be an important artifact someday.

Ok, so I have 16 years to go:

1900-1908, 1910, 1911, 1914, 1921, 1922, 1932, 1933.

So it's mostly the 0's. I guess I'm doing much better on the 20's than I thought.

Have you made any progress against these?

Not much. Maybe one or two since.

Does it matter at all to you the condition they are in?

mk  ·  4234 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I'd rather a train not have run over them. :)

Mostly I just want/need the date to be legible. I replace duplicates with the one in better condition, but I think some wear can be nice.
