Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 01:15 am Usually 1-4 hours, but like SsuperDdave sometimes weeks. If you are filling a folder with wheaties, that might seem excessive, but if you are comparing a die scratch on a photo, and hunting for a match, maybe longer. Add time for conservation, re-holdering and photography. Some require shipping to experts for additional opinions. I don't doubt that there is one I've given 40 hours. But that included a little writing to share my findings. Report this Post to the Staff
jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 02:34 am I have spent three/four hours or more over several days on some coins, particularly RPM's. I frequently put a coin down for a few days before looking again. Occasionally after a few days a problem coin will just jump out at me. Report this Post to the Staff
Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 4:54 pm I sort into year, then look up varieties, then sort into mints under med mag, then for mint varieties and doublings under high mag... ~ 150 Mercury dimes in 1hour or so. I could be faster but I check all mints under high mag, even though I can tell under medium mag most of the time what is going on. Report this Post to the Staff

I do have some SBAs that are blobish and I cannot tell if they are S or D, or both and have several times taken them out and just stared at them over and over to see if maybe sticking them in a closet for a month makes them easier to read the next time. What does MAD and SBA mean, please ? Perhaps you would like to add them to the glossary ? Report this Post to the Staff
