Numismatics

My Great Grandmother and my Grandmother started penny collections back in the day and now I wish to complete them. The following is a list of the coins that I need for the collection.

If you are not a numismatic here is a clue to help you look for just what I need. The 'S' underneath the year is for the San Francisco mint, 'D' stands for the Denver mint and if there is no mark under the year it stands for the Philadelphia mint.

Most of the pennies that I need are from the Philadelphia mint and will only have the year to the right of Mr. Lincoln. Since Alaska is so very far away from the East coast not many coins from Philly make the journey North.

Thanks for keeping a sharp eye out for these particular years of coins and sending them on to me. You can find my list HERE!
