Message:: [QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 2768278, member: 77814"]I put crumpled up non "foxing" paper (at least I think it is) to first prevent the partial tube from allowing the coins to move around when dropped etc. when it's stored. When taking them out the objective is to lift the tube off the stack and leave the ASEs standing. This is where the paper comes in handy.When I open the Tube and lift upside down I'll slowly pull the paper down and see if the ASEs lower.  Of course, many times they may not. I assume you use a book, cover opened 90 degrees and put tube against it, then lower it down.  But I've learned that process lets the edges get hung up and the coins shift too easily. So I basically pull the paper out and use my finger under the paper to prevent the coins from dropping out.  I'll then basically slide it on a flat surface where I also have a cushion and clean towel on. I then lift the tube off of the coins and I end up with a stack of coins. I reverse this to put the coins in the tube. Of course, sometimes one or others get jammed.  That's where the paper helps again as I can stick the paper up the tube to help flatten the coins and bring them further down the tube, then put on the flat cushioned surface. But it's sometimes a pain to pull out of tubes.  I don't do it often so it's not a main concern of me.[/QUOTE]
