Ouch! What if there's a 1909S in there and you scratch it.

 

No worries. There wasn’t. All perfectly common stuff.

 

I’ve never damaged a cent using a knife but one can use a toothpick or a letter opener like you did.

 

Greenie….. I just want you to know that I suffer terribly from the earworm disease and K.C. Has been singing in my brain all day long.

 

Thanks for your K.C. I'm old enough to remember when they were the "thing."

 

My mom had two or three of the glass piggy banks. The knife trick is the best way to get the coins out. Thanks for the memory.

 

Don't ya just hate it when 'bubble gum' gets stuck in your brain Randy?

My gift to you........

 

Not nearly as badly as my wife hates it. She told me at dinner if I shook, shook, shook my booty one more time…. It would be the last time.

 

Give it back to her. Tell her you’ll lose sleep if you hurt that pig

 

Your in his head. Now hit him with crazy dancing. He’ll be in your spell

 

Way to go pam

 

I listen to all of mr greens stuff. It’s all good

 

@Randy Abercrombie I would recommend a Wooden Tongue Depressor rather than a butter knife--even a plastic one--as the Depressor has a rounded end, is softer than the coin alloy, and has no teeth to possibly damage the coins.

 

Definitely one of my favorite bands!

 

Those glass pigs were very common in the 1960's. I had one but, have no idea what happened to it. It could be in a box in my attic, or my mother sold it when she had a tag sale after I moved out of her house.

 

Indeed a butter knife and patience...no rush...will help. Even without the knife looks loose and free enough to come out one-at-a-time with shaking upside-down, but again will take time. Have fun.
