    Hello,

    I bought a slabbed coin not long ago and have no plans on opening it, but out of curiosity, how would I open it if I wanted to?

    Thanks.

    Leadfoot there is no spoon

    I use a vice, a towel, and a hacksaw. Carefully cut along 3 sides, pry open slab, pull out coin with it's protector.

    It works without damaging the coins you just give it a big hit on the side and then the slab with open like a clam shell.
