A Dremel doesn't care who slabbed it.

Yeah, Dremel is the easiest and safest (IMO) option out there. At least you can control what / where you cut.

I just get two 10" ViseGrips and twist til it cracks, then a standard screw driver and pry the rest open. But my method occasionally has flying plastic shards, so... maybe its time for a dremmel?

The new ANACS are pretty easy.They come apart by just prying the 2 sides apart.They have really thick gaskets to protect the coin as well.

I have made most of the gasket molds for the anacs holders,and keep the holder molds in good condition,also.They are ultrsonically welded together,as most slabs are.You shouldn't have too much trouble seperating the halves.No glue or anything involved....

I'll give another vote for a Dremel. Those things are so useful!

Dremmel definitely, unless you a dentist.

Actually, I'm getting all my coins slabbed now because I know my sons will never know what or to liquidate the loves of my life unless someone shows the actual grade of the coin. I know, not fool proof but at least it'll give them a base to operate.

A band saw doesn't care, either. :)

I'll give another vote for a Dremel. Easy to control and a lot less clean up and flying debri.

You can run it over with your car. Then the holder will come right apart :-)

That's hilarious. Why would you crack the coin out though? It's graded and in a good grading company's holder. Doesn't it lose value after cracking it out?

you could also take a chain gun to it, or even a tank! better yet, why not just use a tactical nuke?
