Thank you very much. I am going through 2 boxes of pennies at the moment.

Nice posts there, mcanniz. Thanks for those. :)

I wouldn't consider looking at coins that are not on a list of known errors to be a waste of time. You are as likely to find an unknown new error as you are in finding one that is already listed, and most probably well known to many. I am not saying that you should closely examine every nano-sphere on the coin, but rather that you can develop an adequate inspection regiment using abbreviated techniques that are relatively effective at identifying coins that warrant a closer inspection. I think others will agree that such an approach greatly increases your overall chance of success. Best of luck in your endeavor.

I think you should focus on one denomination,let's say cents. Learn the minting process and how a "normal" cent should look like for the given year,then when you see a coin that looks "abnormal" you can further study it to see if you have an error or a variety.That's pretty much what I do.Good luck with your hunting.

Greetings Hello There, thank you for seeking additional information in furtherance of the comment I made. Both John1 and Moxking appended good advice, of which, I fully concur. In considering your direct questions of me, "how do you go about looking at all the places [on] the coin (ie. Date, liberty, rim, in God we trust, Close AM, picture)", let me say that I do have a deliberate approach to the way I inspect coins based on a determined agenda: to know that coin's "certain place", within my collection. However, the manner I use in reaching that end is not really a thing worthwhile for teaching. In truth, it is merely the consequence of my own habitual inclinations. Therefore, "how I go about it" becomes moot aside the fact that I do go about it. The point I had hoped to convey was to encourage you, and others, to believe that every coin we are privileged to hold is, by that privilege, also worth what it costs us in time to look at the coin with a critical eye. Especially when the coin that we hold is our own property; free and clear. Regarding the headache you wisely hope to avoid, I do have one suggestion that came like a Godsend for me. It goes, quite simply, purchase a USB microscope at your earliest opportunity; its value in mitigating all things ending in headache is easy to discern and immediately self evident -- and hey: it also captures brilliant photography whenever an image is needed to show others the details you want them to see. I hope my reply reaches you as an adequate answer to the questions you raised; Lord knows that I tried. When all else fails however, remember that John1 and Moxking did appended good advice and you can fall back on it anytime. Cheers.

This is a really great thread. Thank you for asking about a list of errors and Thank you mcanniz for helping us all out with yours. Every tip a get on my posts or come across in other posts I copy into my coin research document. It is not organized at all but pretty much covers much of what these other members have posted here.

"Regarding the headache you wisely hope to avoid, I do have one suggestion that came like a Godsend for me. It goes, quite simply, purchase a USB microscope at your earliest opportunity; its value in mitigating all things ending in headache is easy to discern and immediately self evident"

This is so true, after about a month of looking through a scope for each and every coin, the Headaches were getting pretty uncomfortable. I finally was able to afford a 20 USB microscope from a seller on ebay. Definitely helps, but a better quality one if you can afford is good, from mine I can't get a clear enough close image of the serifs to see if they are "split" for trying to detect Doubled Dies, so maybe in a couple of months I can afford to upgrade - just wanted to let you know that the USB is a wonderful tool - at least for me as a beginner.

I do exactly like moxking as far as my sorting, it does go faster when you know where to look for the known errors for that date and mm. I use little plastic cups but, I the the idea of the egg container so I am going to try that out for myself.

Have a great day
