Welcome!

I am a liberal-minded homeschool mom who is constantly trying to find that elusive state of balance in my life while enjoying my two energetic, yet vastly different boys.

Our wisdom is all mixed up with what we call our neurosis. Our brilliance, our juiciness, our spiciness, is all mixed up with our craziness and our confusion, therefore it doesn’t do any good to try to get rid of our so-called negative aspects, because in that process we also get rid of our basic wonderfulness.

    Squished Penny Trade List 

    Thanks for checking out my trade list! I am currently focusing my penny collection on the following areas:

    • Crabs
    • Sea Stars (starfish)
    • Light Houses
    • Puffins
    • Penguins
    • Sea Horses
    • Turtles
    • Nautical (some things, not all, just ask)
    • Virginia Pennies
    • Maryland Pennies
    • Washington DC Pennies

    Although I am mostly interested in the above types of pennies, I am open to other trades as well, so please ask! I am an expired member of The Elongated Collectors (TEC #3470).

    Pennies Available

    All pennies are squished on cleaned, pre-1982 copper pennies unless otherwise specified.

    We make periodic trips to Ocean City, MD as well and I would be more then happy to pick up sets from there for anyone. Just ask. If you want them pressed on uncirculated pennies (BUs), you will need to send the penny.
