[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 461675, member: 4381"]For pocket change I don't do it like this at all. If I see someone I like I simply pluck it from the draw/pocket and I put it in a medicine bottle which I carry around. Later, when I'm bored, I look through them more closely to see the strikes and condition under the magnifying glass. The better ones I might put in hard plastic holders. The thing is that for the most part, normal change has little value. A few exceptions maybe as follows: Wheates are curiosities and older dates potentially valuable. Silver (pre-64) is silver and Kennedy half's, early dates are also silver. I look out for silver proofs that have been tossed into circulation for god knows what reason. War time Nickels are also silver. Other than that, relax and enjoy the coins. Pluck what you like. If something catches your eye it is likely an above average coin. Ruben[/QUOTE]
