Im almost done sorting and then I can get into some serious searching. Just can't wait to see what I might find. Got thousands and thousands of cents to search. Starting to get excited.

Sounds fun.
Did you get a bag or bags?
Are they wheats or moderns?

Good luck with finding some great ones!

I have been buying huge amounts of wheats from people and lots of bricks from the bank. My father in law also passed away about 10 years ago and he was a coin collector and I got a lot of his pennies, he had alot of uncirculated rolls from the 60s to the 80's. I think there was like 250 tubes to go through. I pull out the obvious stuff like laminations, cuds , counterstamps, what ever is visible with the naked eye and the rest I sort by date and mintmark and roll and box them with the date. Now I am almost to the point where I can start searching for errors. Now the problem becomes where do I start with thousands of rolls of wheats and lmc to look at. I'll have to take a pic when I' done sorting and post it when I get them all in one place before sorting.

The 60's and eighties may be tough so I would start somewhere in the middle (maybe the 70's and work back to the sixties). As long as the 60's are in good shape I would do those as they take some time to attribute. The 70's may be more exciting and that will give you energy to dive into the rest. Let's hear what others say.
