<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1267446, member: 31533&quot;]My strategies are evolving, but having a good loupe is pretty much a necessity, and KNOWLEDGE of what you will be looking for is key, IMO. If you aren&#039;t aware of what it is that you are searching for, you might as well just look at dates and leave it at that.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I started, I used to first sort all my coins by year and MM, until I got a good feel for which years kind of ran together (error and variety wise), as well as setting aside all the ones I wasn&#039;t sure how to tell the differences on (like large date/small date), again until I felt I was competent to do the searching without that first step. Wow, what a difference in the time it takes to search, and it is more enjoyable also.</p><p><br /></p><p>On LMC I always look at the AM on the back and let myself know if it is wide or close, so that when I see the year, I can tell if it&#039;s an anomaly or not. And I try not to let the gunk interfere with my looking at the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
