<p>[QUOTE="rmpsrpms, post: 3172193, member: 31773"]The reason I would never freeze the roll to free the coins, in spite of decades of folks suggesting it, is that once the coins come out of the roll, water immediately condenses on their surface. Condensed water on BU coins (EVEN ONCE) ruins them as it starts a corrosion process. This is because the water is not just water, but is an acidic chemical soup of whatever is in the air around you. It is true that you must be very careful when you do the removal mechanically, but you end up with completely clean coins with no underlying damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
