<p>[QUOTE="Barfly, post: 1903238, member: 57721"]Today, I got two boxes of halves and tried the weighing technique coinsrus1000 mentioned earlier in the thread. Basically, I got some very confusing results. The heaviest rolls contained no silver. And one of the lightest rolls contained a single 1964 90%er. It could have been missing a coin, I don't know because I thought of that after I was all done. That's all I found. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think there are far too many sources of error for the weight method to be reliable. There is wear on the coins, paper thickness, tolerance and accuracy of the scale, variations in the coins themselves, etc.. The whole exercise ended up adding more time to the process, because I opened all the rolls anyway. And the banks still haven't caught up with all my orders. Maybe tomorrow the last one in the rotation will catch up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
