Well, you could start off simply by date and value tablet.
Take the US, I would imagine the largest occuring value tablet
say 29c?  or 32c?  possibly a return of around 500 max.
It doesn't take much to scroll through a list, and guage a date of 
production
One certainly can feel a 1950's stamp from a 1970's from a 2000

I don't know about your method, but I always break down
bags of floor sweepings via value tablet before cataloguing.

With my MSWorks database, I can get the entire Romanian
and US on one flat file for around 400Kb
You would only need the major large issuing countries of the world.
