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
