    What is the best way to open up ngc, pcgs,etc containers, without harming the coin? And what is the likelyhood it could damage a high grade coin?

    I put it on its side on cement and tap it with a hammer. Then it is easy to pull apart and remove the coin.

    Wear Safety Glass and gloves
    That Plastic hurts I know for sure
    PCGS bolt cutters or tile nips
    cut at 9:00 and at 3:00 just the edge of the slab coin will slide right out
    Hope it helps

    Safety glasses...the plastic will FLY...trust me on this!
    2 pair of heavy duty pliers
    Strong forearms
    Squeeze and break round the edge CAREFULLY
