<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2922172, member: 84179&quot;]Weighing 1 random empty holder/Insert will not give you meaningful data.&nbsp; You don&#039;t know the variability of the weights.&nbsp; You would have to measure multiple empty holders to determine the mean and standard deviation.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a statistician, but I have to play one at work occasionally.</p><p><br /></p><p>The difference in weight between a silver dime and clad dime is 0.23 grams.&nbsp;&nbsp; If there is a difference of 0.23 grams (less than 1%) between the weights of a typical holder (which wouldn&#039;t surprise me), then you wouldn&#039;t be able to tell the difference between a clad and silver coin with any certainty. </p><p><br /></p><p>As Mark Twain once said, &quot;There are lies, damned lies, and statistics&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
