<p>[QUOTE="SlipperySocks, post: 3295697, member: 94585"]Yes, you would miss out on a lot of minor, worthless die cracks and chips but you would increase your chances of finding more valuable coins because you would increase the # of coins passing through your hands/paws. When I open a roll I do a quick look at both sides of the coin, noting alignment, anything obviously out of the norm and the year. This first look is where I have found most all of my noteworthy errors(Most any cud or crack of notable value will be visible to the naked eye on any old year). If I have a slot for that coin marked in my box, in it goes for closer inspection at a later time. If not then it goes into a bucket to be re-rolled. I used to look at every single coin under a microscope but now I just concentrate on the known, documented errors I want to find and my success rate is much better with less effort spent. I encourage you to try again, making a list of the errors you really want to find and assigning a spot for each one in a tray.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
