I just bought a lot at a yard sale of colecovision carts(pics later in the finds thread). It came with the atari expansion and some atari games. I got q-bert in the lot and was wondering how to tell if it is atari or coleco version?? Can you tell visually or will I just have to pop it in to find out??

Look at the front edge (opposite the label side) of the cart. If the sides are perfectly rectangular then it's an Atari 2600 game. If the sides form a wide hexagonal shape then it's a Coleco cart. That's it.
