<p>[QUOTE="walterallen, post: 115889, member: 4068"]Slabbed coins are ultra sonically sealed which means the plastic is melted/fused together. To unfuse it you must cut it or fracture it. This is serious business if your freeing a coin that could loose conciderable value if damaged. My suggestion is to clamp the slab at the opposite end of the end you wish to open, and I mean clamp at the edge of the end. If you clamp too tight too close to the coin you could impacked the coin if it breaks there. Now after clamping the slab use a dremel with a cutting wheel or a very find jewelers saw to free that edges seal. Repeat this proccess for each edge or side. DO NOT hold the slab with your hand and try to cut or free the edge, this is a dangerous and stupid way to get hurt seriously. Also do not work over the floor in case you drop the coin make sure it hits a soft surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
