The idea here is a census of the cents in circulation. I know that this has been done before, but this will be an ongoing project, constantly becoming more accurate.
You should search in $50 increments, recording the number of each date and mint mark. (not just wheats, memorials, 2009s, and shields, too)
Also, include the following varieties:
1858 LL and SL (I know this is a long shot, but the goal here is to have 10,000,000 or more coins searched)
1873 Closed 3 and Open 3
1886 TI and TII
1922 Plain
1936 DDO-001
1944 D/S
1955 DDO-001
1960 PD LD, SD, and D mint SD over LD
1970S LD/SD and DDO-001
1972 DD0-001
1974 PDS LD and SD
1982 PD LD, SD; Cu, Zn
1983 DDR-001
1984 DDO-001
1988 P and D RDV-006
1992 PD CAM
1994 DDR-001
1995 DDO-001
1997 double ear
1998
WAM1999
WAM2000
WAM2006 Double ear
Also, include errors, foriegn coins, and "junk" (plastic pennies and stuff)
Email me with your results for each $50 increment you search. I will keep the results from everyone on my computer in a table, and will publish them here at certain check points, those being 100,000 coins, 500,000 coins, 1,000,000 coins, and every million coins after that.
If I have too many varieties listed in the census, please let me know which ones you think should be cut.
I will be posting this in several other forums too.
Start Searching!
