Corey New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/27/2009 8:08 pm I am very new to the coin market and don't know what some of this stuff is. I have received as a gift some nickles in a case that are "uncirculated". My question is should they be left in the roll or should they be opened and examined? I have the same problem with the new Lincoln set. I have received a two roll set from a friend. They are from the US Mint and have an Uncirculated mark on them should I open and inspect? I have spent some time on the internet and have found no information on uncirculated sets being opened and inspected. Please help a newbe with some advice with the coin roll.

Corey New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/28/2009 6:40 pm The nickles are from 2005. They are in white rolls marked "25 TWENTY-FIVE nickles of the united states of america/uncirculated Denver mint" The pennies are the 2009 Lincoln special edition US Mint rolls currently on sale at the US Mint web site.

Corey New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/28/2009 7:20 pm Since they should not be opened what is the best way to protect the coins. The roll are open each end. Will the open air hurt the end coins? I have seen different storage product on the web but none of them talk about already rolled coins. Report this Post to the Staff
garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 08/28/2009 8:09 pm the end coins will tone or get darker in color but it wont hurt them at all. you will in time have two coins that someone may want just because of the tone. just put them away and see what happens Good luck with them Report this Post to the Staff
