<p>[QUOTE="Tater, post: 568744, member: 9717"]I just opened four of them this weekend. It depends on the slab. NGC, PCI and old ANACS are easy. Just give them a some light blows with a hammer around the edges of the slab and the pop open. Make sure that they are on a hard surface and you have the slab standing on its edge. Never hit it with the slab being flat on the surface. PCGS and new ANACS are a bit tougher to crack that way. I've always been nurvous about the band saw creating too much heat. Any way you do it you risk some damage to the coin. You just want to take your time and minimize any risk to the coin. Go slow and be patient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
