500$ only a 2006S clad proof.... Bad way to start the week, I hope the three other boxes expected this week produce something.... Good luck to everyone else expecting boxes this week.

I've never understood the point of weighing rolls before you open them? Seems like a huge waste of time

I tried it for a full month once, found it a total waste of time. Yes the rolls with silver weighed more, but so what, I was still going to open every one anyway.

It takes me maybe 5 mins to weigh all 50 rolls. This 5 minute process tells me instantly if i have 90%er or not. Seeing 227 is just as much "fun" as seeing that silver edge...

Some guys like motorcycles, some like cars, some like boats, some like walking, some pickups, some big rigs.... As long as you enjoy the way you choose to travel, keep traveling.

Weighing rolls is like using x-Ray glasses to look at a lottery scratch off ticket before you scratch it. Just open the dang roll and search it. I guarantee you miss a silver coin every once and a while if you just open rolls that weigh more.

I weigh and OPEN ALL rolls, but I open the heavier rolls first.

Liu21 - remember this post next time you are at a bank and the teller says "someone picked up all the halves we had 5 minutes ago."
