[QUOTE="kanga, post: 4962481, member: 9270"]Taking time and doing a full inventory is VERY helpful. I keep discovering errors. One of my [B]new [/B]rules is that a coin doesn't go into the new inventory unless I physically hold it in my hand. I'm discovering that there are coins I apparently no longer have -- or never had. Fortunately that most often involves duplicates and my assumption is that I sold one of them. But one thing I just found out is that I had "invented" a coin that [U]doesn't even exist[/U]. And I had it in my old inventory. About 1866 the US mandated that the motto "In God We Trust" appear on their coins. So it's normal for there to be two varieties of most of the designs -- with and without "In God We Trust". One exception was the Quarter Eagle ($2.50) coin. The motto was never added to this issue. But my inventory says I have one with the motto :oops: Well, I now no longer have one (RATS!) NEW RULE FOR ME: Pay attention to the catalog! Nice part is I now have a duplicate I can sell.[/QUOTE]
