<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1428439, member: 13650&quot;]Yeah, I&#039;ve done it.&nbsp; I&#039;ve cracked out a few MS FBL Franklins for my album and taped the labels to the album behind the coins they were for.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also cracked out a MS-64&nbsp; 1921 Pilgrim commemorative for my US type set.&nbsp; That&#039;s probably the most valuable one I&#039;ve cracked.&nbsp; I don&#039;t like to do it.&nbsp; I only do it if I want something to go in an album.&nbsp; Otherwise, everything gets left in their slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; All I use is a hammer.&nbsp; Its not the best way to do it I&#039;m sure.&nbsp; But it works.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just hammer around the edge and the corners.&nbsp; It shatters into hundreds of pieces but it stays together like safety glass for the most part.&nbsp;&nbsp; Once I get enough pieces off, I pull/bend both sides out, away from the coin and slide the insert out once there&#039;s nothing in the way to scrape the coin.</p><p>&nbsp; Slabs are tough.&nbsp; They are great protection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
