<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2380770, member: 24314"]Try this very, very old method: Use a very thin, sharpened safety pin filed down on the sides to make it thinner. A diamond nail file is good for this but don't let the wife catch you! Poke the pin into the clear plastic space (2X2 hole) between the coin and edge of the cardboard being VERY CAREFUL not to touch the side or rim of the coin (as you can put a thin fresh mark on the edge if you get metal to metal contact). Once the pin is through, move it along the arc of the cardboard a tiny bit. This is usually enough to pop the coin out and on to a soft velvet pad without touching the coin with your fingers or risking a staple scratch.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
