Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/27/2017 6:48 pm Just bought at auction 9 rolls of OBW(well, bags) Lincoln Wheats and Memorials. All came in plastic tubes. Three of the nine were aftermarket brand tubes, Whitman's were OK. The coins in these 3 tubes were swelled solid in there, couldn't move more than top one after wrenching cap off with pliers. Cut a hole in bottom of the bum tubes and used hammer/punch/vise to force coins out. Knew I'd damage some, but only way to get them out. Here's my new baseball coin Lincoln(Just like the Dollar), with a neat "die clash" on the reverse! WOW! L@@K! Garage job my... Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 04/27/2017 7:18 pm Oven! Good idea! I was going to suggest putting them in the freezer to make the plastic brittle, but I suppose the impact of cracking it after it's brittle might still damage the coins inside.
