Tee Valued Member Canada 243 Posts	Posted 03/12/2017 8:40 pm I have an old key chain with a couple of 1965 pennies in acrylic plastic. Any idea's on how to free them? One is a large bead as the A is pointed to a bead. The second penny is overlapping the first so can't be sure if it is a large bead. Sorry but I cannot get clear pictures of the coins when I try to zoom in due to the plastic. The 5 looks pointed but I can't get a good close-up photo. Report this Post to the Staff

Canacoins Pillar of the Community Canada 955 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 11:10 am Probably large beads. But I think it is of the blunt 5 variety though . I've only done this once before and it took days and the coins did not come out unscathed Nor did my fingers! Be very careful. Not worth the effort IMO.
