<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2460782, member: 15588"]In these cases an Exacto knife, handled properly of course to avoid slitting open your skin, is your best friend. I have released numerous coins from Air-Tites using an Exacto knife. Just press the blade into the crevice between each of the capsules. Also, I always put the coins back in the holders, of course, because I've never had a problem with Air-Tites after some 15 years of steady use. I typically remove coins from their holders only to photograph them. Then they go right back in ASAP to safety. I also use the ring type. They cost a bit more but if you ever drop a coin onto a hard or pointy surface, such as the edge of a granite counter top, you will be very very happy that it's encased in hard plastic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
