<p>[QUOTE="TexAg, post: 3556067, member: 86167"]Yes, I do tend to be compulsive about things! My goals were to build out Kennedy albums for my 4 kids and have enough Kennedy duplicates to build albums in the future for all of my grand children. I think that is in place now. So, I guess it's now the occasional upgrade coins I might find and of course the silver. I haven't thought about selling the silvers, and can afford to hang onto them indefinitely until the price of silver hopefully improves. I searched 2 more boxes today using the edge checking method. It's faster than looking at every date, but still takes about 40 minutes as I give every shiny or suspicious edge a date and mint mark check for fear of missing a "goodie", lol. Besides being faster, another benefit is that I am not setting aside as many possible upgrades as I used to which means I don't have as much work to do after the boxes are searched. That part of the process used to take up a lot of time trying to high grade the duplicates. I pretty much am being cold and calculating about the shiny edge coins. If they aren't <b>very </b>nice, I toss them. I'll give this a try for awhile and see how I feel about it. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
