acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 10/12/2014 12:15 am Lightly score the plastic tubes with an sharp knife, just enough to put a nice score in the plastic, heat lightly with a hair dryer, and the tubes will split easily. Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks acloco. I hadn't thought of scoring and a hair dryer. Much appreciated. Here's some more photos. I've separated all of them by date and mint mark. My next goal is to go back through them and cherry-pick the best coins from the rolls. I'm amazed at the condition of the 60's era coins! As far as I can tell, I didn't find any small-date 70's. I still have 6 rolls that I can't get into. 2 59d, 2 59p, 60d sm-date, and a 61p. I don't own a hair dryer here at home, but I do have one that I use at work. Report this Post to the Staff

perfessor Pillar of the Community United States 927 Posts	Posted 10/12/2014 11:27 pm Wow, these are nice. Odds are that you will find at least 1 really beautiful coin in each roll. Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1750 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 3:11 pm Nice score. The old copper cents have a nice look to them, even after circulated. The Zincolns are pot metal garbage. Report this Post to the Staff
stampvirgin Pillar of the Community United States 1247 Posts	Posted 10/20/2014 7:54 pm to the OP, since you can't melt pennies... "less than melt" doesn't mean much. Report this Post to the Staff
