Remember, it's a marathon and not a sprint.

This. If you are trying to close all the gaps in two months, you are definitely going to overpay on ebay or accept substandard coins. Set up your searches, spend five minutes checking them twice daily. You will eventually find some excellent coins at reasonable prices, but it might take a while.

Jbuck - He missed too many coins like teens and twenties branch mints! Literally, all he looked for was the keys and anything BU that caught his eye while feeding the counting machine. I was also able to load-up on BU 40's-50's wheats from these bags.

That's awesome about the bags- beats the heck out of coin roll hunting.

I agree with posters here about remembering to take my time. I've really slowed down. Here's a nice one I just picked up. Now, down to 4 more.
