<p>[QUOTE=&quot;352sdeer, post: 2949161, member: 91351&quot;]Very important! If you don’t first get to know the entire coin you WILL miss most of the errors that could be detected. But a Lincoln cent is so simple you say. That is the one reason most people don’t get to know them, they look so simple they get dismissed. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is some advice I gave another member:</p><p><br /></p><p>I promise you will find REAL errors but you must continue to search TENS OF THOUSANDS of coins to have any kind of chance to find a truly valuable coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Until that time study up on whatever coin you are going to focus on.</p><p>-Fine tune your coin inspection skills so you have a routine that’s the same for every coin, every time.</p><p>-Don’t focus on any one aspect of a coin when inspecting, use your routine and let the anomalies&nbsp; &nbsp; show themselves.</p><p>-Practice practice practice.</p><p>-I personally look at each side of a coin at least 4 separate times when I’m bank roll processing.</p><p><br /></p><p>You will NOT find valuable errors on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. It might take YEARS to find one so settle in and search. Odds go up the more you search.</p><p><br /></p><p>My best pull lately are a couple of wavy step cents I found recently their worth $10.00 each. Big whoop!</p><p>BUT I did find a nice 1931S in VF20 4 months ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s the way it works my Friend, no substitute for eyes on coins. Don’t&nbsp; spend it looking at nothing when there’s lots of other coins to look at.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Reed</p><p><br /></p><p>P.s. Look at my Avatar it’s about 6000 or 7000 Lincoln cents from bank rolls. Each one in the picture has been looked at at least 4 times each side. And I’m not done yet. Its 4 Boxes of re rolls, I’ll 2X2 about 2500, Keep the pre 1982’s and deposit the rest. Nothing of high value came from this load.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps,</p><p>Reed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
