<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7999458, member: 105098&quot;]Just my opinion on this, a full 5 gallon jug is about 200 pounds, $400-$450 in cents, 40,000- 45,000 cents, about 16 boxes of cents to go through in total.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were you, Id set up cheap cups, baggies, bins, whatever is easy and cheap, and write on them the date ranges you have interest in taking a deeper look at, one for wheats, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, S mintmark maybe, and visual oddities at first glance you&#039;d want a deeper look at.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then plow through it and sort into the cups,&nbsp; it&#039;s the sorting that takes the time and causes fatigue from repetition, so the simplest way to make the first step of sorting the best like by wheats and by decade. then sorting the decade by mintmark, or by year or however you like to do it best. </p><p><br /></p><p>the hard part, the fatigue of it, is the sorting and then the page flipping of reference material to compare to. if you have a mindless method of sorting at a glance to get it done rapidly to be more organized, then you can be more focused and detailed once you&#039;ve narrowed it down, less page flipping, more focused on specifics. I sort while watching TV glance and pitch, glance and pitch.</p><p><br /></p><p>idea would be to get through it in a reasonable amount of time, and feel you didn&#039;t miss anything when you are done, which will lead to desiring to take a 2nd pass through it..... yikes!</p><p><br /></p><p>that worked for me to get through a few boxes of cents a weekend. Free time on saturday spent sorting for wheats, then by decade from memorial onward, and then Odd coin cup, then resorting the decade by mint, then by year,&nbsp; and then on sunday with free time taking them one by one, with references open to check them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
