<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2349869, member: 15929&quot;]If your just looking for silver and do not care about any CnClad coins in a bank roll, here&#039;s a tip that has never failed me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unrolling and rerolling is always a pain in the but unless you find a bank with a counting machine that will count out your loose coins and immediately credit you for either a deposit or cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I am searching solely for silver, I&#039;ll order $500 boxes of half dollars and just weigh each roll. Silver coins, both 40% and especially 90% Kennedy&#039;s are a lot heavier than their CnClad counterparts. Weigh each unopened roll. If it&#039;s between 224 and 228 grams, its all CnClad. If it&#039;s 230-234 grams in weight, it&#039;s guaranteed to have something unusual in it. Possibly 21 coins insetad of the standard 20.</p><p>If it approaches 300 grams - CaChing! There&#039;s silver in it so you might as well open that sucker up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Quarter searches should weigh a roll or two of CnClad Quarters to determine what the base weight should be. Same with dimes. Same with IKE&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you understand that Silver coins are heavier than CnClad coins, you&#039;ll increase you odds of finding silver int he rolls you open and save yourself the trouble pf having to reroll bank wrapped rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same is true of hand wrapped rolls as you never really know when someone, some hwere is going to dump those Kennedy&#039;s they&#039;ve been saving. A recent trip to the bank yielded to full rolls of hand wrapped 40% Silver Kennedy&#039;s and all I had to do was ask. The person that deposited them there had deposited way more but somebody else got them. Why they didn&#039;t take the last tworolls is beyond me as I&#039;d jave scooped every last one of them up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Weigh your rolls before opening if your only looking for silver. It&#039;ll save you a TON of time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
