Since most "unsearched" rolls on ebay are scams I'd rather not be lumped in with those scammers. Plus I'd kick myself if it was a roll of good stuff. |

SlcrThanks for all. I am looking for stack silver (Kennedy 40% and 90%). Which I may, or may not sell, if and when AG ever goes higher than say $30-35. But if any Bennies, Walkers, or (what is the name of the series just before Bennies?) show up, , those are only for collecting. Your collective help-wisdom has me ready to OPEN all rolls.

(what is the name of the series just before Bennies?) The series before Franklins are the Walking Liberties. Before those are the Barbers. I would open the roll if I see an ender. Also there are WAY to many scams on ebay with that kind of stuff. I would not want to associate myself with them even if it is unsearched (at least to your knowledge) |

I was wondering if weighing an ender roll is a good way to tell how much silver there is.
A 90% silver half dollar weighs more than 1 gram more than a clad one.

In my opinion you have no upside in NOT opening them. If you put on ebay and (in all likelihood) the roll is full of junk you will get slammed on feedback. |

The hunt is part of the fun. Skunk finds are part of the hunt. If you do not open them, you are just letting the next guy have all the fun.  |

for the better part of two years I searched 4 boxes a week and weighed every single roll I searched. My results...
Rolls with 90% are easy to spot by weight
Rolls with ONE 40% are almost impossible to pick out be weight
Rolls with multiple 40% can be spotted by weight
Exceptions to this...
I have had rolls with extra coin(s) in it that made me think I had multiple 90%
I have found rolls missing coins that came in underweight
I have found rolls without silver, the right number of coins that also came in significantly underweight...interesting finds those were.
I have found underweight rolls with magicians coins
I found that weighing the rolls gave me visibility to things about the coins I would have otherwise missed (underweight) and would suggest everyone do that searches rolls.

Because of our wonderful CCF ~`~`~` I am Soooooo learning. <======= Added to your invisible eye "weigh" technique , coupled with the "ENDERS" ~`~`~`searchers have a leg up, with less work. In my personal collection I am stacking NIFC. And BU 2001~~~2001. Why BU 2000 & 2001? I have no idea why.  |

I'd open it because I'm more of a collector than a dealer, But if you rather get more money for it I'd probably sell it on ebay. |
