Ferret552 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 12/16/2009 7:37 pm Well... if you were careful with a pair of scissors... (gasp) you could probably cut around them... but I don't know, he looks pretty secure in there. Is it yours? Are you planning on getting it out? Report this Post to the Staff

Take a fresh #11 xacto blade and carefully cut the window at the cardboard. You only need to do this halfway, and push the coin from the back onto a non-damaging surface.

Or if you don't want the run the risk of a scratch or cut on the coin from a steel knife blade, just poke through the window with a toothpick and run it around the coin. The toothpick with cut the plastic just as easily as the knife blade but won't hurt the coin if it accidently come into contact with it. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 12/18/2009 8:41 pm I just happened to see it on ebay. Got a chuckle out of the staple job. No biggie, just an Unc. 1956 I believe. One thing though I cannot stand is putting in the staples and not crimping them down. This will rip a few films after a while. I use 3 small staples only, also the anodized ones are good. Will never rust. Then I crimp ea. one down flat on both ends and even just slightly below the flips surface without even making a mark on the flip. I use a pair of 6" needle nose pliers that have just a slight curve at the tip. Works great. I have seen some staplers that claim they will flatten the staples on the flip with one punch but from what I have seen they work lousy. Report this Post to the Staff
