[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 996188, member: 23626"]Talking cents here I pull ALL 83 and earlier. I sort all the copper into tubes. I weigh the 82 & 83 for copper. Next, I pull all the 84's looking for the DDO. All 1988 reverse 89 (these are darn rare and the D's are Scarce !) I look at all the 1992 D for close AM Next is the 1995 D DDO Finally 1997-2002 WAM (wide AM) I look at both side of every coin for die cracks, clips, offsets, trails or anything that looks out of sync. Blurry lettering, etc. I have a huge paper cup that I toss anything that looks different into for later inspection. I mean anything that looks different from a perfect cent. I just got a new magnifying lamp from my brother in law, now I can actually see the coins ! Without one, it was getting very difficult to sort through the stuff. Now I can scan a small tray at once. I have been lucky recently and hope you find some great items ! The advice given to me by roll searchers was "Keep Looking". And I think that is the whole secret. But you do need to scan through the Cherrypicker's Guide or other reference (Lincoln Resource site) to know what is out there. Again, good luck ! gary[/QUOTE]
