<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 129002, member: 68"]It is often a good idea to stabilize the coins in alcohol or acetone. Some coins are not holding up at all in the government packaging and the SMS cents are among the worst. The '68 cents are the worst and all of these in the mint sets are damaged now and the vast majority are very ugly. The '66 and '67 SMS's don't need to be damaged to open them. They are just regular Whitman snap lock cases with a blue insert and US Mint imbedded on the front.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
