The flat top beer can was a real cool surprise. Does anyone know when they changed to the pull tab?

Can't recall when the beer cans changed, but those nickels look good! Andi
 
:read2: early 1963, Iron City beer went from church key to the non stay pull tab . nice nickel finds :icon_thumleft:
 
The pull tab was invented in 1962, but not all cans had them right away.
 
Very cool finds :thumbsup:
 
That last item looks interesting. I'de be curious to see that cleaned up.
 
Cool! too bad you can't tell what brand it is. Here are the ones I found last Summer:
