T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 4:22 pm I just cracked out my recent purchase of a WLH from an ANACS Yellow slab. I couldn't believe how easy it was , just stick a large flathead screwdriver in the channel groove on either side of the slab and twist the tool a little at a time all the way around .Took me no more than 10 seconds .

Look at the back of their slab, there's a seem around the back piece which is solid and doesn't get overlapped by anything. If you create any space between that and the front shell you can pull that right off. You can even lean on it or flex it enough to break the seal somewhere and get a finger nail in the space and pull it off. Report this Post to the Staff
Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 6:42 pm The obvious follow-up question is: If you were to put a different coin back in the slab, would you be able to seal it again such that no one could tell a substitution was made? Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 8:30 pm Oh well the ANACS was the 2nd slab I ever cracked, the 1st was an NGC that gave me a hard time . I'm just glad that I'm a raw coin collector . Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 11:01 am SEGS are reported to be the most difficult ones to crack open. They use a less brittle plastic that can absorb more impact/stress without breaking. Edited by Conder101 05/03/2018 11:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
