breaking up mint sets to submit

ClosedLoop

I'm finding it real difficult to pull out the scissors
and cut up some sets that I have from the '50s '60s and '70s.
Some of these sets have clean well struck coins in them, but I
can't bring myself to cutting out one coin from a set.
what do you do with the remaining coins? anyone else come across this dilemma
and how did you deal with it?
I need some words of encouragement.
thanks

Broke over 100 sets of the clad stuff only got a few top pops in the past. And yes just put other stuff back in circulation.

The lining in many of these sets contain PVC and will tarnish the coins. Almost
all 1968-P pennies are already destroyed or severely damaged. It can be pre-
vented with an acetone soak.
