Take a sharp pen-knife and work your way into that seam with the knife edge. Be careful....once you gain some purchase you can switch over to a small screwdriver and gradually work your way around the packaging. I don't know if the mint 'sonically' sealed these sets but every time I open one of these sets the plastic 'pops' and splinters......be extremely careful for your own sake as well as the coins packaged within........hope that helps. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
