Overwhelmed and have questions!

I will definately get you all some updates. I decided to work on Nickels first(there are just too many pennies its scares me!) . Went through the newer looking wrappers found a few 50/60's, but mostly they were 70-80's think the newest one I found was around '83. I'm thinking this guy was a roll hunter so hopefully the older looking rolls have already been picked through and there are some key dates! If I get anything cool I will definately post em up!! Thanks for all the info! GL & HH!!

How many silver halves? Those are the real payday!

I would take a different approach and decided to do this in a very similar situation.

I would take all non-wheat cents and turn them into the bank. If they were wheat cents, I'd put them aside.

Next I'd take everything that is not silver and turn it in at the bank.

Now you're left with the silver and a pile of wheat cents. Personally, I don't search the wheat cents and still have a bunch of them at my house here that I've never searched. I also have a bunch of 60, 68, 69 and 70s mint cents that were with the wheat cents that I don't search either. One day I'll search them or just dump them...

The silver coins I would go through just to make sure I didnt have anything worthy of more attention than melt value, whether it is due to being a key data or condition.

Personally, i don't have the desire to search through modern coins for anything other than silver and since thats already been done for you - it seems like a no-brainer.
