Roll in hand, stack the zincs in piles of 10, keep the cherry picked dates, 99, 92, CAms WAMS, and all overdated, RPMS that are listed in the books, by now I have these memorized so I dont waste time...

I sort all copper thats pre82. toss the wheats aside, also any pre 70 BU. 70-82 Bu's I dont fancy much, so they go in with the coppers. the only real sorting I do is between the earlier coppers that could have RPMS, OMM, or the 99 WAM, or 92 CAM. other than that I dont waste time sorting every year. it goes much faster this way. so at the end of my box, which takes only 1-2 hours at the MOST, I have sorted my copper to sell, and sort my wheats by year. I usually dont find many errors. but once you have all the errors and varieties memorized, its pretty fast.

so just put all the years that could have errors or varieties in a pile, ie. 63-d, 64, 70-s, 60-d, 61-d, 99, 98, 00, 92, 92-d, 95, 95-d, 97, 94, then check those at the very end, so your not pausing in the middle of stacking the zincs to be rolled up. at least for me, putting these in piles and waiting until I've gone through the whole box saves me time and saves my eyes the strain.

i have found that when ever you find a year that COULD have an error or variety, if you pull out the book, compare and check it, could take 5 min. in the same 5 in I could have sorted through 3 rolls and tossed the same coins in a pile for later. kinda leaves you something exciting to do after your done searching the box, in case you found nothing...
