AY> What dates are you looking for?

Write your reply.

assistant: Every one from 1909 to 1940 except:
1909 (not VDB), 1916, 1917, 1919, 1919S, 1920, 1924, 1925, 1928, 1930, 1934,
1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1940S
I also need:
1941D, 1942D, 1943S(steel), 1945D, 1945S, 1946S, 1947S, 1948S, 1951S, 1954S,
1955S, 1969S, 1970S(both lg date and sm date), 1972S, 1974S, 1992D, 1996D
If all you have are the '92D and '96D, I'm not willing to pay you for them or
even send an SASE. I'll only accept those if you throw in some older ones
with them.
Key:
VDB: Signature under Lincoln's shoulder of the penny designer. It can be
found in some of the rarest 1909 pennies, and most of the pennies after the
1950s.
D: Denver. These pennies have a D under the date.
S: San Fransisco. These pennies have an S under the date. btw, some of the
pennies from 1975+ are from San Fransisco, but not many. If you have any of
those, I want them too.
SASE: Self-addressed stamped envelope.
lg date: The date on the penny is large
sm date: The date on the penny is small
steel: In 1943, the pennies were made of steel due to the high demand of
copper during WWII. There are a few copper 1943 pennies known to exist, but
they are extremely rare and valuable.

I'm not really a collector of indian-head pennies, but I'd be interested in
having one or two of them.
As for prices, no penny in bad condition is worth more than $.10-$.25 except
the rarest ones like 1909,S,VDB.  I don't really have a particular price for
each. If you have any mint-condition wheet cents, I don't want them because I
can't afford them. I'd prefer pennies in bad condition, but good enough to
make out all the features and dates (normal penny with a couple scratches,
brown from age, etc). I guess I'd pay 1 cent for pennies from 1970+, 10 cents
for 1940+, 20 cents for 1909+, and 25 cents for indian heads. Those prices,
of corse, depend on how many pennies you give me, which pennies you give me
(for example, I'd give at least a dollar for a 1909VDB or SVDB), and what you
think of the prices.

Neither 1942d or 1943s in poor condition are worth much, and I can't afford
them in good condition. Since I'd only pay $.15 or $.20 a penny in poor
condition, it wouldn't be worth the stamp. :)
I was hoping someone around here had a lot of old pennies that I could buy in
bulk. Even then, they're not worth much, but they add up ($5.00 for 25-50
pennies is a good price).

Hey, there are a few bargains in this area....8-track
car tapes etc.  Man......I still have it for my basement,
Village People, Donna Summer, Bee Gees etc.  Those tapes
are twice the quality and power of those little poofy tapes
of today.

assistant: sure thing, I'll get back with you first before I do anything. The trick is
to convince her to give up these pieces that are sitting in her basement. She
also has star wars stuff, and ythats even harder to get her to let go, but
ill see what I can do. By the way you wouldn't happen to have any signed
photos of Helen Hunt would you? It's hard to find a signed picture of her. If
so let me know. Thanks       The Other Steve
