I could get them as I was putting the coins through the counter. You quickly grab the obvious. They stood out if you knew what you were looking for.

My mom had collected coins when I was very young. I sold a penny for a dollar, 1919s or maybe a 1905 something I think, when I was in 6th grade.

So no, not labor intensive, and a very good return if you knew what you were doing.

Now, back to basketball ... which is the focus point of the OP, time to leave the past in the past and move on.
