<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 2492419, member: 77639"]I have no advice on whether to open it or not. But, there are a couple of things you can do to check out the innards without removing the paper. First, weigh it on a scale that is accurate to at least 0.1 g. Steelies weigh 2.70 g versus 3.11 g for bronze or brass wheaties. Paper will add a little weight though. A small, strong magnet should stick to it anywhere along its entire length. That's about all you can do to an intact roll w/o much more expensive equipment unless you can get your dentist to x-ray it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
