Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 12/30/2014 5:38 pm I have looked through pages and pages of comments on handling coins in the Forum. Perhaps the answer is there somewhere, but so far I haven't seen anything about getting coins out of coin tubes or even mint rolled coins for that matter to avoid dings or scratches getting them out. Anyone have a process they are willing to share? Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 12/30/2014 6:49 pm 1. Melt plastic tubes with a torch. 2. Burn paper rolls with a torch. 3. Smash tubes with a hammer and coins should fall out 4. Dump tubes in ACID. All in jest you know. I usually just turn a plastic tube upside down and allow the coins to fall out. Of course I don't put valuable coins in tubes. If attempting to take coins out of paper rolls, just be careful. From plastic tubes, again just be careful and don't put valuable coins in those.

(I haven't tried that yet )LOL but always use cotton gloves when taking coins out of paper rolls or plastic tubes. Tony Report this Post to the Staff
