I just got my first pcgs coin - 1925 $1 MS 64

I want to put it in my Dansco and since its really not very valuable, I see no issue in "cracking it out".

Only problem is- How do I take it out correctly?

there's a few previous posts on this subject and everyone has a different opinion. I like the bolt cutter method as seen on YouTube the best.

I've never tried the cutter method on youtube, but it looks like a great and simple method.

I just tried the bolt cutter method a couple of days ago. It works great.

I just broke out my 2005 American Silver Eagle with the use of a simple wire cutters and some force. It worked great! Didn't have a bolt cutter at hand. And the coin was unharmed.

I use a small grinder and grind thru the seal then just lift the slab halves apart and take the coin out, I have done this many many times without a probl;em.
