Can opener theory is very solid. Would be easy to test theory...

Not to split hairs, but a can opener typically has a blade on one side and a toothed gear on the other. Unless you are talking about one of those fancy ones that hug the rim and cut the sides (a.k.a. the manual can openers that I can never get to work right).

Quote: I'm wondering if it's damage from the machine that seals the cellophane mint sets? I like E&V's explanation - have seen it before - the sealing machine makes contact with the rims. Plenty examples on the CCF SEARCH box........

In case anyone wants to know what Dr. Coop had to say: http://goccf.com/t/422009#3632075Quite a spirited debate on the numerous times this has come up. I think we broke new ground by ruining a can opener, though. For science! =)

Tbh, I am still trying to understand how a cellophane sealing machine generates enough force to rip the surface of a coin with grooves.
