<p>[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 4650675, member: 105571"]I wrap a rag around the slab and put it in my 8" vise edgewise and then slowly tighten the vise jaws until I hear it crack. If it's not cracked sufficiently to pry it apart then I do it some more until it's reached the point it can be pried open. Key point is that I don't want the slab to fall apart to the point that the coin falls out because even though it's wrapped in a rag, the edges of the broken plastic slab can scratch the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
