[QUOTE="Kurisu, post: 5491361, member: 117063"]I am using the same system I used decades ago... Yup, it takes me a very long time compared to many folks, I assume. For brand new uncirculated rolls, I really take my time and look for amazing specimens (and obvious varieties or errors) and lay the cherry picks out to re-check and compare to each other afterwards. Then stick the winners in flips for grading or whatever later. I also save the really nice ones to make some beautiful uncirculated rolls. By the way, I absolutely do not have a steel trap of a memory! So I always have my references available to double check and remind myself what I'm also looking for, these days it's usually a few tabs open in my browser with some favorite variety/price guides. But I do have a new Redbook, as everyone should! I believe it's only about $8 on Amazon right now. For searching circulated rolls I do a similar thing. I tend to stay away from the loupe or microscope unless something catches my naked eye or I'm checking on a known variety for that coin or date. I keep it in a small space, very neat and clean and simple. An old clean mouse pad is a favorite coin pad for me and I clean it using a piece of packing tape :-) That way I can break my search area down or set it up very easily. Usually doing just one or two rolls at a time.
