So I have seen a lot of ideas on silver hunting but this idea kinda makes sense. It's more for the people who are working, and want to pick the roll of quarters that has the silver. As we all know silver quarters weigh a little more than regular copper clad quarters, if you weigh a roll of regular non silver quarters, vs the weight of the quarters+1 silver quarter you will notice that the weight of the roll with the silver quarter will be a little bit heavier than the one without the silver. I Am not sure if this really works but I would assume with a nice gram scale you would be able to pick up the difference and be able to know there's silver in the roll before you even open it up. Has anyone tried this?
How about 2 silver quarters in a roll? 3? 4? More? Yep, I can just see the teller at the bank ready to whack you with her stapler. Chris
what does the bank teller have to do with this? lol... sounds like you just want to wack me with a stapler. I just wish you would learn how to read
I made no mention of bank teller. Or bank. I said while you are working and about to open a roll of quarters, and have the time to weigh em before you open it. Basically what I meant
Doing some math here... a roll of 40 uncirculated clad quarters should weigh about 226.8 grams. A roll of 39 clad and one 90% quarter should weigh 0.58 grams more. That's about 0.2% more. So if those 39 clad quarters have lost 0.2% of their weight due to wear, then that roll will weigh the same as the roll of 40 uncirc clad quarters. So I'm guessing the 0.58 gram difference is going to get lost in the wear of the quarters, leaving you without a way to really tell. That is unless you found a roll with a whole bunch of silver quarters in it.
C'mon, have a sense of humor, when I read this I was picturing you in the bank with a balance and a teller running back and forth from the vault...
So! Where do you expect that most people will go for rolls? Oh yeah! They'll buy them from the Mint. Chris
Given weight loss caused by circulation, heavily worn 1960s clads etc will negate any weight variance with a slightly heavier coin. If coins didn't wear and lose some mass, this would be a feasible idea. But in reality they do wear, lose some metal.
Nah! The teller contacted me and said that she would much rather trade her stapler in for a staple gun. I don't see her laughing, either. Chris
Honestly it does sound nice, in theory but sadly not going to work. Thought I would get away from staples and staple guns, though I did down load that new software that was posted on here. Now I have double the sense of humor, non of which my ex still gets, uuhhgg, LOL
