<p>[QUOTE="rmpsrpms, post: 3074063, member: 31773"]I have opened many rolls of Cents that were stuck like this. The old "Meghrig" brand tubes had a tendency to shrink and entomb the coins. My method is to use a hacksaw blade and cut the tube lengthwise, but not so deep to hit the edges of the coins. Leave a little plastic. Then put the blade of a flat blade screwdriver into the slot along the length and twist the screwdriver blade to break the remaining plastic, starting from the open end. Once you get to the bottom all the coins will come out, and there should be no damage or plastic residue on them. Works very well, though it does take some patience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
