<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 26582247, member: 27832"]Yep... but I just last night got curious about a so-slick-it's-dateless Barber dime from a lot I bought years ago. A newly-minted silver dime was 2.5g. This dime was 1.96g. Buy a roll of 50 of them, and you'd get only 98 grams of 90% silver, instead of the expected 125g. Buy a "125-gram" roll of those, and instead of 50, you'd get 63 or 64 dimes. But buy a tube stuffed full of them, and you'd probably get at least 70 or 80 - since they're so flat, they <i>pack</i> more tightly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
