Great job...... I tried the same thing from circulation about 30 years ago when the pickings were much more plentiful. I remember missing a couple of the 1920s dates. I did find several 1936s, though. Wanting to desperately fill that nagging hole, I made my own version of the 1936 dot cent to WOW my friends. I was nearly a celebrity for a couple of weeks until one friend found a picture of the real thing. So what if my dot was in the wrong place? Alas, my approach of the ultra rare "1936 Shifting Dot" cent lacked the pizzazz I'd hoped for.
