coinshopworker Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 07/29/2010 8:19 pm Sometimes the grading service provides a grade that is not accurate from the owners point of view - and grading changes over time as well. Some coins come back not graded, due to cleaning issues, and those may be removed especially if the owner does not agree as to the determination. Many collectors use albums, and have specified we break coins out of slabs before selling to them. We have never had the plastic damage the coin. It's similar to breaking up proof sets, you just have to be careful. Hope that helps. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/30/2010 4:43 pm Note on that video the uage of bolt cutters it is not mentioned how that cracking in the middle of the coin could have made a really nice mark on the coin. The worst part of using vise grips, bolt cutters, pliers, etc is all it takes is one small flying piece of plastic into your eyes and guess what. The people that suggested that will not take you to the hospital. Nor will they send you flowers at the hospital. Not even a get well card. So then it's up to you to now figure out how to see the world with one eye due to stupid methods of opening a slab. If you must open one, use a Dremel type tool. Be safe, not sorry.
