<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1946460, member: 3726"]I line it up so the edge will cut in the bottom of the label, I never let the flat part get near the coin. I usually have to do it on both sides. And on PCGS I usually end up with a label side and the coin side. Then I use the little screw driver to just pop one side of the slab off. Then I pull the ring and coin out. I then do the same of the label. I keep the labels with my album.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC slabs sometimes are a little tougher to crack. Then I might have to get creative. BUT ALWAYS take your time and avoid the coin. You do not want to scratch it or anything. I know on one NGC slab I had to snip some of the edges around the label before I could pry half the slab off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
