[QUOTE="Stork, post: 3499809, member: 71642"]To crack a slab I hand it to my hubs who uses his band saw. The nippers and vice tricks work too. I remember one show one of the overseas dealers merrily cracking slab after slab behind his table. Using the tile nipper type things. As for me, one bit of plastic is as good as the next if the coin is not worthy of grading. NGC has crossover for PCGS coins in slab, but has you sign a waiver if it's anyone else's slab.

Pretty much would crack anything other than a PCGS/NGC going the opposite way.
