Message:: [QUOTE="AZSteve, post: 7301181, member: 114396"]I have seen BWRs like that, but without the marking. From the looks of the paper wrapping I think those rolls might be a quarter short, and someone marked them as such. And I'm not just talking about the loose paper that didn't get crimped over. There is too much space between the outside end of the paper roll, and even the inside of the crimp, and the first coin. A roll of clad quarters is about 227g, give or take a gram depending on the amount of paper and the condition of the coins. I pre-weigh all rolls (BWR & CWR) I get, and set aside those that are heavier (229g or more - might contain silver or an extra coin) or lighter (223g or less - probably short a coin). I check those first. Sometimes a wrong denomination coin will make a smaller difference. I once found 5 BWRs that were short a quarter - bad Quality Control. And I've been 2 coins over or under on some CWRs. I re-wrap all rolls, which my Credit Union requires for returns. After re-wrapping each roll I weigh it too - if not 226-228g (for quarters) I probably counted wrong. And like Mountain Man, I put a penciled X on the wrapper.  The CU knows to not give those back to me later.[/QUOTE]
