<p>[QUOTE="DW-coins, post: 1309716, member: 33380"]I've busted out more slabs than I can begin to count and have tried all the different routes, some better than others, but there is no better and safer way than using a small hammer. All you need to do is lay the slab on its side and gently smack the edges of the slab with the hammer. It breaks loose the sonicated plastic so that you can just open it up like a nut. It's very coin friendly and despite the scary feeling of hitting a rare coin with a hammer, it really is a safe method.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
