Is there a techinque to breaking a coin out of a slab or should I just take a hammer to it

First step is to shrink your icon.

First preference is a "C" clamp or vise, if they are not available, a hack saw. BUT WATCH OUT USING A SCREW DRIVER TO PRY THE CASE OPEN!!!IT WILL SLIP!!!

Some people use hammers. Some use saws, others will use a dremel. Some also use a vice grip.

End cutters, good sized ones. I used to use my bench vise, talking PCGS slabs here, learned quickly to cover it or carry the shrapnel forever, asked once I found this site, one recommendation was end cutters, and they work like a charm. A snip/cut on three sides removes the rims, then insert comes right out. Quick too.
