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.
