[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3066231, member: 46237"]It's possible. I've never tried using a vice; I've just gotten really good at the hammer technique. I'd like to see some shots of the case like I've posted from someone who is really good at the vice method, to compare. There is one point on each edge by the top triangle where this particular slab was hit. You can see it clearer here. The damage is about as minimal as you can get with this technique on an NGC slab. This is the top edge where the label is, not near the coin. [ATTACH=full]769704[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
