Picked up a 1962 Franklin Proof 64 Cam on ebay last week for $15. Decided that was cheap enough to crack it out of the Anacs slab and put it in my book.

New Anacs slab was really easy, just inserted a large flat tip screwdriver into one edge and twisted. Back popped right off.

Sorry I do not have any pics as my camera is on the fritz again. (Guess its time to invest in a new one, LOL.)

Cracked my first one a couple of weeks ago (also a franklin). My second one was also a franklin that I paid $160.00 for. That one really spooked me; I really would have been unhappy had I messed up the coin. Anyway, I have cracked three now with three more in the safe to be cracked. I am waiting for about a month when I get my birthday present-a dremel, if my wife has been paying attention.

I've been doing that for many years. Just be carefull regardless of the method you use. Remember that a piece of flying plastic can ruin your eyesight forever.
