[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 1360723, member: 33215"]So I recently got a whole roll of UNC 1960-D Large date cents for the price of $1. I usually take two of the best and one goes in the folder and one goes in a 2x2. But this darned roll would not come out of the tube. I tried dropping it on the ground like all of my other broken tubes happened, and nothing happened. I try thumping the open end on the ground; not a budge. I eventually took a lighter to try to expand the plastic only burning my fingers. Time to call dad for help. We take the bottom end off and start using a hammer and punch to try to get one to push all the way through. NO DARNED PROGRESS! Next was a hacksaw. We sawed the plastic tube into halves making two incisions, didn't touch the coins, pried it apart with a screw driver, and used that pesky punch again. Success. Want some pics? Too bad. You get to see the whole shibang. [ATTACH]158907.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]158908.vB[/ATTACH] Oh, and that one cent we punched? It could possibly have been the best one in the roll before we got to it.
