Searching 'Golden Dollars'

I wont even bother with the edge dated coins. I just take one of each and who cares what mintmark it is/was because they will wear off soon enough and you can hardly put them in anything to be able to read later.

my method for searching a box of small dollars:

1. open a roll and sort "silver" and "gold" to different area
2. when all rolls open, put away the "silver" ones to have room for next step.
3. start spreading out the "gold" and checking the backs. Liberty is Pre$, eagle is SAC, other is NatAm.
4. next day: check for NIFC Pre$, or upgrades. dump rest into bucket for rolling/spending.
5. next day: check SACs for NIFC, or upgrades. dump rest into bucket for rolling/spending.
6. put up the keepers and start rerolling the Pre$ and SAcs.
7. Wait a week and decide how many rolls of SBA I really need and wheat I will keep from them.
8. Keep what I decided to keep and dump the rest into bucket for rerolling. (SBAs should be spent rolled so people don't think they are quarters. I will make a careless cashier dump out ALL her quarters in the drawer and PROVE they are all quarters if she messes up!)
9. Spend leftovers.
10. take out keepers and sort into books and wherever else I planned to keep them.

thus why I said "silver" and "gold", cause they dont even remain golden long. no idea but I have some silver plated halves, no telling who might have dont it with SBAs so if you can find it, someone other than the mint did it I am sure. also foreign coins that are about the size of an SBA and a US quarter that I have found are also "silver" and could easily appear in rolls/boxes of small dollars just as quick as they appear in quarters.

there is a thread for Small Dollar Roll Searching
If possible, lets try and keep discussions to one thread.

try using a lower watt bulb 6w-20W ? or use natural lighting
plus maybe use a lower power loupe

I know the feeling of looking at these especially if they are all unc ones
I might look a roll or two at a time
