PENNSYLVANIA SAMPLES

NOTE!  The state of Pennsylvania no longer offers SAMPLE PLATES for sale to collectors - I believe they stopped around the time the "PA.COM" base passenger plate came out.  For the most part, most of these are $20 - some older ones are more - if you're looking for any of these types, grab them up, as you can't get them from Harrisburg any more!  

Here's the address to the state DMV - if anyone finds out that they're selling sample again, let me know!- http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/license_plates/index.shtml

From the TURNERPLATES.COM site:  PENNSYLVANIA SAMPLE LICENSE PLATE INFORMATION: Effective March, 2006 PennDOT decided to terminate their program to issue sample plates.
