[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 1819862, member: 16729"]For NGC, I've used hammer and tile floor. For PCGS, I've used bolt cutters. Cut right on the "bubble" next to the coin, avoiding the coin inside. It makes a nice, single crack along the face of the bubble that you can just "hinge" open with your hand, and the rubber thingy and coin is just right there. Done that a few times, with no problems.
