Yes- @CoinJockey73 - look for that little notch, if your capsules have them. It's easier to get your prying tool in there.

So does this mean my coin is from Berwick rather than Edinburgh, as attributed by the auctioneer? And what do the coins with odd numbers of...
Awesome. Everyone feel free to "pile on" with any Scottish coins you might have- not just medievals.
Some of us can delete threads. ;) Not that there's any grounds for that here.
Nahh, don't feel bad- I've seen those lying on the ground, all nice n' shiny like, and gone for 'em, thinking I'd just found a quarter. ;)
Oh, you mean those plastic capsules? Carefully, by inserting a knife blade or similarly thin item you can use as a lever into the seam. Twist...
Now, it may surprise some to hear this coming from me, given that I've been an enthusiastic collector of "holey" coins off and on for a couple of...
I like that one more than either of the two you posted here.
I'm certainly not the one to ask. The only ones I've ever owned were in the early 2000s, when gold was cheap. I couldn't touch one even at spot...

Since we're on the US Coins forum, I had to look to see what my current favorite US coin is my collection. That turned out to be fairly easy,...
Wow. Best find reported on the forums in a while, I'd imagine. Congrats, @Steven Shaw. Do keep us updated on the outcome if you submit it.
I'd keep it the way it is. It's a nice coin, but not the best slab candidate.
It does look like a proof. It's a very common date, so I don't know that it would be worth the expense and hassle of submitting it for...
For a sea-salvaged example, it looks pretty nice. FWIW, I'd be all over that for forty bucks!
Given the costs of certification, I would examine your batch very closely under magnification and choose only the best, most mark-free examples to...
That's a full red UNC. As @daveydempsey mentioned, the 1967 coins can be readily found in this condition, since they were the last of the...
Ah, yes. I suppose that one is indeed a half-groat, though I'm more accustomed to using the Polish half-grosz in that particular context. Those...
