[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2961756, member: 59737"]What would you do with 175+ lbs of US Cents? I have a shipment coming in soon. I have no idea the breakdown of the coins, but will assume the majority are post 1982. I have very little time for searching them and I have young kids at home so I can't simply leave piles laying around. I have the ability to bring them to a bank and have them machine sorted for a 5% fee, or I can roll them myself and be charged nothing. Of course, I don't have any rolls and live outside of the US, so the 5% fee might be the best bet. For all you cent searchers, what would you do to tackle such a large load without much free time? My thoughts: - Immediately pull and dump all shield cents - Pull and keep all wheat cents (or IHC if they appear) - Pull all 1972, 1992, 1995 to look for doubled dies - scan the pre 82 coins for BIE and other varieties - quick scan all coins for cuds as I'm sorting - dump the bulk in the machine and call it a day What say you?[/QUOTE]
