Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 09/27/2009 11:55 pm I am thinking of removing the sealed plastic case enclosing this coin, its a 1999 proof issue, 0.925 fine, 38mm diameter coin. It's not the slabbed plastic. Is there a way to remove it from it's plastic case without scratching the coin's surface? comments appreciated, thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Hope it does'nt depreciate too much in value. Thank you Nelrak, that sounds ok, will do Report this Post to the Staff
