GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/25/2013 07:31 am What coin are you trying to open? I ask because, there are a few coins that do not open very well at all. Like the 1982 proof Washington half dollar. For these I use a hammer ... if you have tried to open one of these you will understand. Report this Post to the Staff

rking007 Pillar of the Community United States 784 Posts	Posted 06/26/2013 12:49 am If you have young kiddos around check and see if they have an orange LEGO separator. They come in most sets. One end is designed to get flat LEGOS off of flat LEGOS which have been the bane of many eight year old and their fathers finger nails... I bet they would work great! Report this Post to the Staff
