Removing coins from 1950's cardboard mint set holders

Can the coins be removed with zero evidence of removal. No cardboard creases, no damage to green backing? I carefully tried to press out one of the halves nearest to the edge and gave up because the coin was tight enough to make me believe it was not coming out without damaging the holder. Most on eBay have creases between the coins.

I'd try putting down a towel and getting a roll of toilet paper. Put the half so it's over the tube opening and push down so it falls through and lands on the towel.

That's my idea anyway!

I only asked because an eBay cheese ball bought one I have with no evidence of coin removal cardboard is like the day made with not the slightest evidence of a crease and the green backing is tight completely glued. He emails me and said every coin on the "P" mint board had been removed and turned around to show the color and every coin on the " D" mint board had been taken out and dipped. Even though I said no return in two different places I agreed to a return. Here's the "P" mint board. I only listed because of free listing didn't care if it sold. Now that an amateur has drooled all over it I didn't really want it back.

The short answer is yes you can remove them without evidence.

The cent looks like the photos you get with secure plus. Maybe they are accurate..

What's weird - and kind of cool - is that the left half seems to coincide perfectly with the right half. What I mean is, toning-wise, it looks like the obverses of each type could easily be paired with the reverses of the same type shown. I feel like there is normally more variety in the toning. These look like perfect matches.

If I didn't know better I'd say the left half of the screen was one image and the right half of the screen was a separate image of the board flipped over.

What I alway's did was to put a couple of thicker pieces of paper on the bottom of the cover paper and push lightly on that. It usually worked but some of the cover papers are so brittle there is really no way to do it without breaking the paper.

By the way the other side will be white. The sets like yours where the coins are just where the mint put them will be white. The sets where all the coins are lined up because someone re-arranged them might have color on the other side. Wanted to add also I would love to see the D mint coins from this set.
