<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1053816, member: 10103"]I assume Dan (OP) is speaking of ASE's in their original "mint" tubes. I find that the more recent tubes are more loosely constricted. That is to say that when you turn the tube upside down the coins slide out rather easily. Older "tubes" are more tightly packed. You can't release the "Eagles" unless you give a solid "rap"to it, and, oh dear, there is gonna be some scratching and 'wear" here.</p><p><br /></p><p>For extracting older eagles out of mint holders it is best to employ a surgical knife and very carefully cut into the plastic holder. Make sure your incision is not too deep, and slowly work your way with it, making sure you don't cut into the coins. Slowly split the plastic holder. Kind o' like shucking a clam.....don't want to bruise the meat....<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
