HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25111 Posts	Posted 12/26/2022 6:28 pm So I have this quart baggie of 1950s LWCs. Pretty sure that there are no 55DDs, as I probably checked them in the original sorting years ago. Is it worth my time to go through them to search for BIEs, EIRs, etc? Mine eyes be old and weak. Thanks for your suggestions! Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 12/26/2022 6:46 pm How about engaging a younger member of your family (nephew/niece, grandchild, etc.) or the neighborhood to help you and turn them into a YN?

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/26/2022 7:39 pm To me, stuff like this is junk. I have probably 2K wheats from '55-58PDS that I've never searched. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 04:07 am My eyes are kinda old and weak, but I would still search them.Is that a K350 keyboard like mine?

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 07:30 am It's a personal decision. I'd go through them, only looking for the rather obvious--massive BIEs, stunning lamination issues, striking woodies, prominent die cracks, etc. I wouldn't spend 30 minutes on each under 50X+ magnification. After all that, keep any you want and disperse the rest. Fun. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188197 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 11:52 am It might be fun to look through them if you can survive the eyestrain. If not, I like the suggestion of passing them on so that a YN can enjoy.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 1:18 pm I'm with the frog on this one . Sure , you'll find BIE's and filled numbers on dates but they are so common as to not have a premium . Quote: You should sell them here on CCF John1 Yeah and then have a contest giveaway !

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25111 Posts	Posted 12/27/2022 3:30 pm John: yes indeed, it is a K350. Only drawback is that the lettering is wearing off of the keys. It came with a mouse that I put away, and use a Logitech Ergo M575 trackball. Spence: I never spawned, don't really have much family that I'm close to, and don't live close to them anyway. And being a hermit, I don't really know any young people. Coinfrog: that's why they're in a bag. Along with bags of other wheaties sorted by decade. That's as far as I went with them. Well, I did look for a few key dates (unsuccessfully). 1847Bill, jbuck, and others: Yes, passing them to youngsters is a great idea. T-BOP: I'm coming up on 500 posts, so a contest seems in order. However, there will be a condition - winner MUST pass these off to young numismatists! Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
