Ammonite New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 7:26 pm Is there a way to open those standard "air-tight", half dollar plastic holders without getting a hacksaw to cut through it? I picked some up recently and mistakenly closed the lid tight not knowing it would be nigh impossible to open back up. Is there some sort of trick to it? Report this Post to the Staff

And if you miss you'll end up with a nice sratch on the coin. I know. I did just that and missed. Then I also cut my finger. Just keep prying with your finger nail. If no finger nail, find a lady with them and ask her to do it. If she breaks a nail trying, be prepared to run. Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 07/15/2008 11:33 am Carls advice is sound, as per usual, ......but just be sure that the "nails" on the lady aren't "press on nails", because the glue holding these on will NOT hold up under the exertion needed here. They need to be natural nails....so observe this BEFORE asking "the lady."........ Report this Post to the Staff
