    Miz,

    Long before you were ever born, "Penna" was a common abbreviation used for Penn(sylvani)a until 2-letter abbreviations became standardized.

    Some of the more easily recognizable abbreviations that were used back in those days were:
    Calif (CA), Wash (WA), Ariz (AZ), Mont (MT), Ida (ID), N Dak (ND), S Dak (SD), Wyo (WY), Neb (NB), Kan (KS), N Mex (NM), Louis (LA), Ark (AR), Minn (MN), Mich (MI), Miss (MS), Geo (GA), Kent (KY), Tenn (TN), Mary (MD), Conn (CT), Ver (VT), Mass (MA), Ill (IL), Ind (IN), Ore (OR), Nev (NV), Colo (CO), Okla (OK), Tex (TX), Misso (MO), N Car (NC), S Car (SC), Vir (VA), Del (DE), N Hamp (NH), Rh Isl (RI), Flor (FL), Ala (AL), Alas (AK), Haw (HI), Wisc (WI), New Yk (NY), New Jer (NJ) and W Vir (WV). The states with short names were usually written out.

    I know that this is more information than you needed to know, but once I started listing them, I figured I may as well finish.

    lol, i know the 2 letter abbreviations but i was not familiar with penna. i thought he was meaning penns instead of penna because those two keys are so close together.

    1998P worth face

    1985P worth face
    2006P worth face

    Nothing rare about them. Some have the P and some don't have the P. They all come from the Philadelphia Mint.
