<p>[QUOTE="ACW, post: 310413, member: 4807"]If in doubt, just buy 2 sets. Break out one and leave the other original. I think the clear windows on the new mint sets are pretty thin so they should be able to open up easily. Is it possible to carefully spread apart the cardboard to expose the coins with less chance of damaging them? If so I would go that route. I don't think an exacto knife is the best tool since it could slip very easily, maybe a small set of scissors or clippers. Slow and easy!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I leave all my mint sets, proof sets, commemoratives, etc. in their original packaging.
