I just broke out my 2005 American Silver Eagle with the use of a simple wire cutters and some force. It worked great! Didn't have a bolt cutter at hand. And the coin was unharmed.
I use a small grinder and grind thru the seal then just lift the slab halves apart and take the coin out, I have done this many many times without a probl;em.
