Counting Change...huge Volunteer Project

I have an idea to make this easier for everyone and should ensure a more thorugh search.
If pictures and descriptions of all the different coins that we are searching for are all pooled into one place, maybe a web page that can be printed out and refered to while searching are provided. Also, if someone could come up with a Excel spreadsheet where findings could be recorded and saved, that would put all finding in a neat oredered page.
I could probably set up a sheet if I am provided with everything that will be needed to complete the census.
Just some food for thought

Also I have family in Ak. I might be able to get them to send a box from there that I could count as well

OK email sent. Philadelphia PA

I currently have less than half the volunteers I need, so anyone is welcome to join in at this point...and I appreciate all who do volunteer.

Being that I am still less than half way there, it is probably going to require that I get volunteers to do a double count or I will have to scrap the project. I hate to be this way about it, but I'd rather scrap it than not have enough coins sorted to make the results accurate enough to use for anything.

I have a couple of more places to publish the information about the project and see what kind of response I get. I am going to send a press release to Coin World and Numismatic News to see if they might print my request, and I will be publishing about the project in the SLCC journal (Society of Lincoln Cent Collectors). I send out 275+ copies of that every quarter, and these are die hard Lincoln Cent folks. I would imagine many of them will respond positively.

I need at least 300 to make this work. I currently still have fewer than 50.

I have already volenteered for SE Ia, but I could get a box from east central Iowa as well, or two from the SE part

E-mail cent.

I appreciate all the people who have signed up to date. Remember, though, I can ONLY accept volunteers who send me an email. This project is so large and there are so many people to account for, I would prefer to do it only one way to keep it as simple as possible.

Numismatic News is going to print with this.
CONECA is going to put it in their magazine and on their website.
Coin World might go to print with the project.

I will be talking to AP today about it. If the nation finds out about it, I might just get a thousand people to help, and that's a really good number to work with.
