when you get home with your rolls where do you go from there? do you give each coin a full inspection one by one right away? do you sort them into date ranges first pass then come pack and give the promising date ranges a better look ?
As I break the rolls, especially cents, I have labeled baggies with specific dates that I know have varieties. For example, using the Cherrypicker's guide, an example I have bags with 1980, 1984, 1984-d, 1995, 1995-D...and so on. Those have doubled die possibilities. Since actually inspecting them takes time, I go through one bag of say 1980's. With the volume I go through, it makes it easy for me time wise and it keeps me focused on one year type and the attributes for the variety/error.
i was thinking something like that would be best for me also since i am so new to this and know so little i could break it down to decades in one run then look up what i should be looking for in each decade and go through them again. trying to remember over 100 years worth of penny's to look for seems impossible right now lol. so far i've just been keeping everything (pennies) older than 82 and looking for wheats and indians and plan to go back through the pre 82 ones later when i have a better idea what to look for.
