Looks like a solid roll of copper to me

 

[gunner45]

Hmm, I'll say 5th from the left

 

[Plug]

8th from left, the color definitely looks like silver

 

[crhstreetwalker]

Great answers. Second from the right is taking home the gold, or in this case the silver. Join us next time as we try and find the ever elusive clad looking 40%.

So did you date check, sound check, or just pick this one out from the others? Thats a tuff one
PR

Whats your strategy on finding these? In the right light, the silver color stands out amongst the clad, but if the silver is worn/shiny looking it is very difficult to distinguish in comparison to the nickel. Do you weigh the rolls?

wow i would have never known!!

Oh I missed this one for sure. After doing a quick rim check, I slide each roll into a cardboard box, enabling me to hear each coin clink. I heard this one amongst the clad. If I wasn't sound checking, this one would have gone right back to the bank. After I have $500 in a cardboard box, I transfer them to a bag.

I don't think I like this thread, it makes me of all the silver I could have missed!

 

[conleytheking]

I'm with the others, for sure 9th from the left.
It has a nice shine to it.

Agreed lol

 

[jnb1994]

Agreed lol

I got paranoid today and date checked every half in my last box. Just to find one 1965 that had a blaring white rim anyway

 

[albert]

Now I'm date checking...

 

[Bigheed]

you dont need to date check but if you just use a razor and edge check you might miss a few like this.

Best way to open rolls is use a semi dull serrated knife like a cheap steak knife or a flathead screwdriver.

I line up 10 rolls at a time, slide it under the crimp and rip it towards you, the entire crimped end of the roll comes off nice and effortlessly......"it's all in the wrist"

Slice all 50 rolls

Push the roll out from the other crimped end allows you to see half of each coin making the silver much more obvious, you can also hear the "clink clank"

I do boxes in 6-8 minutes with this method and never miss a coin.

[timbobwey]

9th coin in from the left side

 

[Piledriver]

What this proves most is that if you are edge searching, the light you use is very important.

Keep on Rollin' !

 

[fistfulladirt]

Hmm, I'll say 5th from the left

Me too

I don't date check all coins, but this is why I date check ANY coin that is not a gold color that is obviously not to be a 40%. I have found some amazingly hard 40% coins, and I think othes probably looked at them before I did and passed.

Great test, sice it shows that edge searchers ARE missing some 40% coins. I would check 9 different coins in this batch. Most will be 1971 - 1974, but that way I know I'd see the 40% too. :-)
