<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 24710035, member: 77639&quot;]I’ve not opened a 5 oz capsule, but have opened those for 2 oz on down from various mints including the U.S. Mint.&nbsp; The capsules I’ve seen use a friction fit of one cylinder inside another, or less commonly, the “lid” screws off.&nbsp; The screw-off lids usually have a flange that you twist counterclockwise.&nbsp; Friction fit lids too can have a flange. For friction-fit lids that don’t come apart easily, I use the sharp point of a paring knife to get things started.&nbsp; Work it around a bit until the lid starts coming up; then use your fingers.&nbsp; If screw-off lids are stubborn, a thin sheet of rubber used to open food jars will give a better grip.&nbsp; I do this sitting down over a new 1-gallon plastic bag laid on a fluffy towel.&nbsp; This keeps the coin clean and from traveling far.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
