<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 976096, member: 68&quot;]Some cases of all dates break open fairly cleanly but sonme dates tend&nbsp; to splinter and break up pretty bad usually.&nbsp; The &#039;68 case is awful.&nbsp; The nickels were often pounded in with a hammer using a wooden block to protect the coin because&nbsp; the holes were a little too small.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s easy to break these but does require a little practice.&nbsp; I just put them on a soft cloth between my feet and pound an awl next to the two biggest coins in the set.&nbsp; Damaging a coin is very rare.&nbsp; Wear eye protection since these shards&nbsp; can travel at incredible speeds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
