KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 3:42 pm Occasionally I will run across Lincoln cents that are encased in a metal holder with messages such as "Good Luck" or "Eat at Wong's Noodle Parlor". For example: Often they are in good condition. Is there a way to remove these coins from the casing and return them to collectible coins or are they forever trapped?

HippieOutcast Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 3:49 pm Is something wrong with your picture? I'm getting a broken link on my end, might just be me. I'm not sure if you can remove them easily, I've sold quite a few encased pieces with nicer coins in them. Report this Post to the Staff

Try this ebay link instead for a different example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-D-ENCA...220996750645 My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 4:46 pm I think that the coins are somewhat ruined having been encased and probably look better in their holders. There have been a few posts here with 'undersized' cents that have been freed from their holders. I'll see if I can post a link ...I haven't had much luck with that but I'll give it a go.
