<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 49372, member: 68"]The best bet is to learn to do it quickly and to always be on the lookout. There will usually be only a few die pairs represented in a small sample or a large sample. The range of the die life represented by these coins will typically be fairly brief and usually less than a quarter of their life. It's not really necessary to look at every coin very closely once you've determined which ones warrant a better look. With brand new coins there is a much better chance of there being unreported varieties represented. Do a good side by side comparison of each die before you even get started. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some bags won't have a single coin worth saving in it. You can spend ten or fifteen minutes determining this and go scout out more to check or you can spend hours carefully scanning every coin. Even when there are a bunch of keepers, you can go through pretty fast when you know what you're looking for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
