[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3741975, member: 27832"]Keep in mind, though, that the rims go first, so stack [I]height[/I] isn't entirely proportional to stack [I]weight[/I]. A stack of 40 worn SLQs might weigh 5-10% less than a stack of uncirculated 1964 Washingtons, but it'll be a good 20% [I]shorter[/I]. So, if you're buying 1964 uncirculated stuff, try to pay by face value. If you're buying older circulated stuff, try to pay by weight (because a given face-value amount will weigh less than the new stuff). And if you're buying SLQs or slick Barbers, try to pay by the full-to-the-brim tube. ;) A full tube of worn SLQs will weigh [I]more[/I] than either a tube of worn Washingtons or a tube of uncirculated/proof Washingtons.[/QUOTE]
