I recently bought some OBWs of LMCs for my roll set and I am wondering if I should crack them and put them in plastic cent tubes or keep them the way they are. I tried nickel tubes and the lid won't go on.

BTW, the text on the different rolls are:
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF CLEVELAND
50 PENNIES 50
Johnson Fare Box Co., Chicago 40

same, with CALVIN C RILEY
2545 ASHCRAFT RD.
DAYTON 14, OHIO(x2)

PENNIES
50 c
Standard Paper Goods Mfg. Co.
Worchester, Mass.

HELANA BRANCH
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF MINNEAPOLIS
50 PENNIES 50
Johnson Fare Box Co., Chicago 40

50
PENNIES
SEATTLE COMPANY
OF NEW YORK, INC.

SEATTLE
TRUST & SAVINGS BANK
SEATLE, WASHINGTON
50c PENNIES
BRANDT
WATERTOWN, WAS U.S.A.

I would crack them too. I wouldnt be able to save them without cracking them open! You never know what you will find in there!

Since I could care less how much I can make off the mystery, I would crack them. I want to see the coins, not speculate on what they may be.
