<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 93732, member: 4552"]I've break out every one I've ever bought and there have been lots of methods posted on how to do it on this and many forums. The best way I've found is to just take a saber saw or scroll saw with a metal cutting blade and cut off all the corners. You have to move rather fast or the heat of the blade will melt the plastic back together. If no power saw like that is available to you, a hack saw with a metal cutting blade will also work. If you try hammers, pliers, etc you will get plastic fragements all over the place and possibly ruin the coin, you eyes or damage something in the area. If you do that in a house you'll probably have a wife at you with a hammer. Also, save the discription tag inside. What I do is to put them all on those little yellow sticky paper things and put them on the inside cover of each album the coin is in that came out of a plastic slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
