You couldn't tell just by looking? I can usually tell if it is only one or two short just by looking. Definately if I hold them I can tell. Maybe carry a full roll, or something the same length as a full roll to compare them to? My dad frequently comes over when I sort and is amazed at the "sorting skills" one amasses over the years....

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

Nickels are about the easiest to tell (see) if the roll is sort (or long).
I frequently "suggest" a roll may be short and ask for it to be counted.
The institutions I usually use (i.e., nice Tellers I wait for) don't bat an eye any more, and it gives me a chance to eyeball what's in the short rolls.
When there's a Canuk-A-Nickle, they just write it off and give it to me because the banks don't sell Canuk-A-Coin anymore. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

| I have been shorted 4 halves in one roll pulled from a box before. $2 isnt going to bankrupt me because this box as full of silver. Stinks but its part of the game. I do love getting the 3-5 extra dollar coins in the bags of halves though. I guess it all washes out in the end. |

| You guys should post a +/- thread for rolls of coins that you get. I am sure you get shorted more often. But silver will make up the diff |
