My question is, I have a 1 roll of SAE, Philharmonics, and Maple leafs. I want to take them out their Mint tubes to inspect them. However I am not sure what the best way to remove them without scratching is. Should I turn the roll upside down and slowly slide the roll up?
I know that it doesn't really matter if they scratch (silver is silver). But I would definitely like to keep them as nice as possible, just in case I can gain any premium on them. I have white cotton gloves too BTW.

I previously took my SAE out of the roll to look at them, and I noticed a few scratches on several of the coins. Its hurting me lol.

Thank you very much for any and all help on this topic. It is much appreciated.

I would suggest....cotton gloves and put my finger inside of the tube. You don't want the edges to get hits. Grading a coin for 68-70 matters bunches on edge hits. I have watched graders from ANACS look big time at the edges and rims of a coin.Every scratch anywhere takes a % from full grade for coins that shouldn't have them.They will use a 7x loupe.
