I will post before and after pictures when I receive the coin. Wow, I just realized I reached the 2,000 post milestone. Edited by Spider5689 05/09/2012 03:59 am Report this Post to the Staff

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 05/13/2012 8:32 pm I just use a box cutter to cut the glue and a screwdriver inserted into the cut and twist the plastic apart. This method also works well with the plastic cases on the proof sets as well. No need for a hammer or anything heavy handed and I haven't hurt a coin yet. if coins were meant to be in slabs they would be issued with one at the mint Report this Post to the Staff

I am planning on picking up a few tools from work tomorrow so I can free Abe from his plastic prison when I get home. Its almost time for a prison break. Report this Post to the Staff
