Today was my first "crack out" fiasco. I was able to gently open a graded coin by NGS or NuGrade Service. A real nice outfit. Anyways, after showing this coin, people asked me to crack open the case to take better pictures. Today, I did just that. My method is not barbaric but rather just invasive enough to split one seam and pry something in there and Walaa! It opened with some trouble but not enough for me. I'll show better Pics later tonight, probably when your dreaming of sugar plums before Santa arrives. Here is the coin in question from an earlier post... Bye friends for now.
