I have several of these with mostly what looks to be Lincoln cents. The tops will not come off and when I did force the top off one roll, the coins will not come out. I do not want to damage the coins. I have tried soaking in warm water and that did nothing. I am hoping someone here has experience or a solution with my dilemma.
Those clear plastic tubes shrink over time. @Spark1951 resolution will work most of the time. Myself, I take a tubing cutter and split the tube and was able to get them out that way.
Soaked one in very warm water for a good amount of time and did nothing, but I may try going from hot to cold multiple times to see if that works. Thank you I may try this but even when I forcefully removed the top from one tube all the coins are stuck. I would likely have to cut them out one by one. I still may try as it is a good suggestion, thank you
Those holders are known for trapping coins. I have tried all the ways said here, the pipe cutter is worth the investment. PS, a quarter turn every rotation, the tube will fall apart when you have cut enough.
Definitely one of the great shows of our time, I wonder how much of it would infuriate the new generation/cancel culture LOL. I'm going to go from freezer to near boiling water and see what happens. If that fails then I will be trying the pipe cutter
There isn't anything these fellas don't know when talking coins a wealth of FREE knowledge from these coin geeks..AWESOMENESS
