And if you ever want to put them back in the&nbsp; original box you can because it is completely undamaged if you do it&nbsp; carefully and will snap back tight enough so you can&#039;t even tell it was ever opened.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]121643.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]121644.vB[/ATTACH]Start with one corner.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]121645.vB[/ATTACH]Work your way around. Don&#039;t force the blade, you&#039;re not cutting you are gently prying the plastic apart at the seam.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]121646.vB[/ATTACH]Get all four corners apart and lift striaght up. SOmetimes this is a little tricky because when you pry the two up on one side, it forces the corners on the other side back in place. You just have to keep working it back and force. Be careful and try to lift it up as straight as possible or you will crack one or more the corners on the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]121647.vB[/ATTACH]And the coins are free!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>PS: you should probably wear cotton or latex gloves while doing this just in case you accidentally touch a coin. Also wear a mask over your mouth and nose so you don&#039;t get moisture on the coins while you&#039;re breathing. It was irresponsible for me not to, I usually do especially with my silver proofs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
