For you roll weighers....... UPDATED 04/23

[cdickrun64]

I decided to run a small experiment......weigh each roll (in order from top left to bottom right, straight from the box). I numbered each roll......and put the weight on each one also. Roll #'s are on the bottom. Weights are in grams, i.e 5.3 = 225.3. Lets see which rolls hold silver and which ones don't!! Weights range from 224.4 to 225.9......with 225.2 being the average. Results around 10:00 EST....

UPDATE.... Dispersion Chart-by roll position


1 2 3 4 72-s 6 68-d 8 9 68-d
11 12 13 71-s 15 16 17 68-d 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 70-s 28 29 30
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
41 42 43 44 45 46 69-d 48 49 81-s


Inconclusive...??

Awesome. I love data. let us know!

Re: For you roll weighers.......

i'm just guessing, but i think this is a skunk. If one of the rolls had silver i think it would be at least 2grams above the average. I could be completely wrong though, so please let us know the results.

Results time!!
Roll #50, which weighed 224.4 grams contained a 1981-s clad proof
Roll #14, which weighed 225.2 grams contained a 1971-s clad proof
Roll #18, which weighed 225.2 grams contained a 1968-d
Roll #27, which weighed 225.4 grams contained a 1970-s silver proof....MY FIRST!!
Roll #10, which weighed 225.6 grams contained a 1968-d
Roll # 7, which weighed 225.6 grams contained a 1968-d
Roll #47, which weighed 225.6 grams contained a 1969-d
Roll # 5, which weighed 225.8 grams contained a 1972-s clad proof
The 2 heaviest rolls, weighing 225.8 and 225.9 grams contained NO SILVER.
So.......50% of the rolls that weighed 225.6 grams contained a 40%'er
No rolls under 225.2 grams contained silver.

Hmmmmm.

Re: For you roll weighers.......

So all this really proves that is weighing your rolls is a waste of time?

No significant statistical finding showing heavier rolls contain silver it seems. Why not just rip the rolls open and be surprised if there is silver.

I guess if it did work it would be great for people who want to return their unrolled dumps back instead of re rolling or having to dump them into a machine. Sorry I don't really get the point of all this.

Re: For you roll weighers.......

Jim2silver-you are correct!! I always open every roll, and i USED to weigh them before opening, but no longer. The thrill of not knowing in advance......kinda like a sonogram when you're expecting a child.....ruins the experience. Just did it for sh!t$ and giggles.....

Cool experiment but it is mostly a crap shoot!!! Great score on the '70S - got my first one last week from a teller tray - man was that awesome!!!

HH,

Re: For you roll weighers.......

I am using one of these at work. I have asked the sales guy to come in and do some demonstrations for me. I am going to handroll some test samples and see what it says. Stay tuned May 5th meeting.

Re: For you roll weighers.......

weighing your rolls is still useful if you get brinks boxes with the clear plastic wrappers and only edge check it will tell you if it is short or not. I only do this with dimes though.

Re: For you roll weighers.......

cool experiment. I guess it doesn't help much to weigh them though.

BIG congrats on that '70 S!

Re: For you roll weighers.......

Weighing my rolls would be way too much of a hassle. I just bite mine open like the Silver crazed animal I am when I have unsearched rolls.
