<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1675998, member: 15929&quot;]Since we&#039;re on the subject of 2 x 2&#039;s and the use of staples to seal them shut, now is as good a time as any to cover the process of &quot;removing&quot; a coin from a 2 x 2 without scratching it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Newbie&#039;s want to &quot;tear&quot; that 2 x 2 open which exposes the coin to the staples. Despite your best efforts, tearing open a 2 x 2 will &quot;eventually&quot; end up scratching some coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best method to open a 2 x 2 is to poke a tiny hole between the coin and the opening in the 2 x 2 and then gently bend the 2 x 2 until the mylar tears. Forget about &quot;saving&quot; the 2 x 2 and instead &quot;save&quot; the coin. The mylar tears evenly and cleanly allowing you to carefully remove it from the mylar by grasping the edges of the coin. No muss, no fuss, and no scratching!</p><p><br /></p><p>Poking the hole can be with a sharp toothpick or, if your adept enough, the tip of an X-acto knife (my tool of choice).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
