[QUOTE="tanner520, post: 46437, member: 1613"]I'm glad this thread came along. I've been wondering something for a while now and this is the perfect opportunity to ask. I collect rolls of Silver Eagles (one from each year) and I thought that maybe the Mint had shortened the tubes so the lid wouldn't snap complely shut, thereby allowing you to pop off the lid more easily.
