I check the enders, completely uncrimp both ends, unroll the whole thing and slide the horizontal coin "stack" onto the work surface.

No wonder it takes you guys days to search a box. I got mine, a box of nickels, at 4:30 pm today, done by 7_pm in time for Tucker. Just give my old stockman a few swipes on the diamond board, take those brinks-wrap (plastic) give 'em a nice end to end slit(lightly scored) then crack it. Go through and set aside second lookers by dates and any special picks, voila'!

This box was a skunk, 1-2009d which got set free along w/4 more, 3 beat to death 2017d, first I've seen(no pee's) about 5 common date 40's& 50's, a potful of 57-64d's, not one RPM. No runs, no hits only one error, 1998 5c Bahamas in black and white

Small screwdriver picking the crimp apart. push the coins out from the other side. Goes very quick... Can still use the tube if I need too...

I use a mini eye glasses screw driver to open the ends. Works perfectly.

I usually take a cold chisel and a two pound sledge hammer. Sometimes on more difficult rolls I go for the full size sledge. There usually a couple of undamaged coins left to search. Just joking. I unroll the crimping on the end and save the paper intact.

Unrolling seems to be the way to go over slicing the wrapper. I'm going to give it a shot!

Hard to describe - but simple and fast.

Hold roll upright. Turn knife on its side so the sharp surface is a 90 degree to the top of the roll. Insert knife edge under the rim from the INSIDE. Very slightly put pressure upward on the knife as if trying to uncrimp the rolls top edge. While lifting the knife, my thumb is in contact with the upper flat edge of the blade and I "peel" the crimped ring of the roll off. backwards. .

Then rip the rest of the wrapper off easily. No, I don't mark up the top coin with this technique.

I just peal the outer edge on each end and tear it open. Usually just unroll them into my hand then.

I tried pushing the coins out of un-crimped rolls in an entire box one night and ended up with a blood blister!

Does anyone have the time to invent an "uncrimping" machine?

There seems to be a market.

I use a table saw; it's fast but tough on the blades.

Suppose I could get someone to reverse engineer it.
