<p>[QUOTE="jeankay, post: 415300, member: 12159"]You are not a real coin collector until you realize you do not have to tear apart 2X2s and leave the sharp edges of the staples exposed to ruin a coin. All you need to do is get a firm grip on the cardboard, put your thumb nail next to the coin on the cellophane and with the other hand hold the coin firmly, then pull down on both sides and the coin will likely break the seal of the cellophane and you can get it out without actually opening 2x2. </p><p>You can also use a sharp exacto knife and slit the cellophane so it will open easily so remove the coin. </p><p>Of course with both of these methods you will need to be very careful.</p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
