<p>[QUOTE=&quot;celticoin, post: 512522, member: 17134&quot;]How can coins be safely removed from slabs?</p><p><br /></p><p>I contacted both PCGS and NGC and they said that the coin cannot be removed</p><p>without damage. They then added that they have equipment to do it, but they</p><p>will not remove the coin and return it, they will only re-slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>My sight may not be what it was, but I cannot see dark copper coins in slabs,</p><p>even to verify the variety. I have just a piece of dark metal in plastic (even</p><p>if the label says it is an EF Vermont landscape cent), and so, for me, a</p><p>slabbed darkly toned coin is a ruined coin.&nbsp; Slabbing has its place, but I want to be able to see my dark non-reflective coins.</p><p>A major dealer said he could not tell me due to liability concerns, and referred me to this forum.</p><p>Can you assist in liberating my collection?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
