Does every number appear in the sequence?
If a(n) is coprime to 10, then a(n+1) exists by Dirichlet's theorem. - Eric M. Schmidt, Aug 20 2013 [In more detail: let a(n) have d digits, and consider the arithmetic progression k*10^d + a(n), and apply Dirichlet's theorem. This gives a number k such that the concatenation k||a(n) is prime. N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 08 2020]
The argument in A068695 shows that a(n) always exists. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 11 2020
