i usually focus on pennies so I'll typically have a backlog of nickels to go through. What do you have sitting around you still need to search?

I'm currently going through a huge bucket of wheats, so waiting in the wings are a whole lot of nickel dollars (tying up dollars!) and nickels too.

***and I just noticed this was in CRH and obviously those aren't rolls (except for the nickels), just looking for varieties and errors.

What is a backlog?

A number of members buy coins by the rolls, or boxes ie. $25 box of 1 cent coins. We then go looking for coins that we believe are high grade, varieties or error coins.
This takes time. So the term, "backlog" , in this reference, refers to the number of coins we have not searched.

I guess I have three kinds of backlogs. 1 currently two and a half boxes of cents. 2 about four one gallon ziplocs full of "finds" I have to put into boxes I have catagorized. And 3 a couple of tubes of "finds" I have to research and decide wether they are worth keeping or not.

I have about $600 worth of pennies, I keep getting more each week, so whatever I do the pile stays about the same.

My backlog is a mess of coins that need to get organized and put into notebook pages and I'm ashamed to say how bad it is.

I had hundreds of rosies and mercs found roll hunting. Can't search for varities 'cause I lost them all in the river in an unfortunate boating incident.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72
