<p>[QUOTE=&quot;claycad, post: 1169691, member: 17987&quot;]I do it to all my proof sets. I prefer to put them in either intercept shield 2x2s or some other type of hard plastic case. I like each coin in its own case though. I also like to have my coins boxed by denomination. I put all my cents in one storage box, all my dimes in another, all my quarters in another and so on. That&#039;s just how I like it. I know that I will never sell my coins in my life time so I don&#039;t care about the resell value of them not being in US mint holder. That&#039;s just how I prefer to store my coins though. They&#039;re mine, I paid for them, so I don&#039;t really care what others say about me cracking the mint cases. To each their own though.</p><p><br /></p><p>I use an XACTO blade to pry along the edge of the case. Usually you can open them without harming the case at all so if you ever want to put the coins back in you can.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: and make sure you pry all four corners loose then lift the top straigt up. If you pry only two corners then lift the top back like its a box top you will usually crack the other two corners. Pry all four loose until you can lift it straight off. You shouldn&#039;t be hearing plastic cracking at all![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
