A note from George: Please do not eliminate scans in any of the sites, retired or current.  Many use the retired scans when researching older designs or trying to find locations from bulk lots.

When making an update to pennycollector.com, please do not eliminate all the writing in the narrative section of the site. Please just add your update under the already existing wording.  Also include what you found when using the machine: What did the coins look like and how did the machine work? (Short, pull presses, machine worked well, machine was having problems, etc.)  Where was the machine located at the business? (Inside, outside, etc.) This information is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you to everyone who continues to make updates.
