<p>[QUOTE="Reid Morgan, post: 4132583, member: 108339"]It's indeed 80% silver on the surfaces, but by weight a 40% silver 50c Kennedy is one gram lighter than a 90% silver Kennedy. I weigh my coin rolls from a $500 box all the time to ascertain whether there are any 90% in there b4 I open them. An entire roll of 40% silvers barely weighs any more than a roll of clads. A full roll of 90%'s will weigh a full 20 grams more than a roll of 40%'s. Not likely from a $500 bank box, but you can extrapolate from those 20 extra grams to a roll that weighs 3-5 grams above clad normal and know you've got 90% silvers in there. Do you really think all those live half dollar silver hunt channels don't weigh every roll before they sell "silver" rights to those truly un-opened rolls at $5 per roll? Cut me a break! Those gambling-addicted souls who buy 10 rolls @ $5 per roll would be better off if they went on eBay and bought a 40% silver roll of Kennedys for around $45. No gambling needed![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
