[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1239228, member: 24633"]Okay, I'll play the devil's advocate........... There are a number of error varieties for the Prez dollars, but I don't think you will have time to examine them with a loupe or even check the entire edge of each one for missing lettering. Assuming that your vision is good, about the only thing you could do is look for the blatant errors such as off-center strikes, clipped planchets, brockages, etc. Let's assume that verifying the count for each roll takes 5-6 seconds (without considering the time it takes to tear open each roll). It should take you about 30-45 minutes to verify the count of all 400 rolls. However, if you were to take the time to just look at the obverse and reverse of each one for any blatant errors, you can add 2 seconds for each coin which would amount to an additional 5-1/2 hours. Your bank is paying you to do a job for them which does not include furthering your numismatic ambitions, and they may not like the idea that you could take 7-10 times longer to do the job just to satisfy your curiosity.
