    I still say a bar towel and a bench vice is your best friend on this matter!

    That looks just like the tile snippers that I used yesterday putting in my new bathroom floor. I had no idea that they were originally invented to remove $30.00 worth of packaging from encapsulated coins. image

    I haven't found a slab yet that can't be cracked very neatly, and safely, with a small ballpeen hammer. You just set the slab with the edge on a 2X4 or something firm and tap around the edges 'til the two halves separate.

    Cameron is being modest. He didn't put in the ad he's an ICG grader.

    I normally use dynamite to get my coins out of slabs. image

    I usually melt the slab off over the flame on my gas stove. The coins tone up pretty nice & then I resubmit them!

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Actually a very good safe tool to use. Any shards are captured in the cutting jaws. I have been using end cutters for electical work for over twenty years.

    Well, if you are dumb enough to crack coins in the first place...

    Jonathan (who sends them in the slab for upgrades, not out where they could be downgraded.)

    That's what dealers use at shows - but why's he busting out a sample slab for a 1925 Wheatie?

    Odd, looks like eBay pulled the auction. Wonder why? Keyword spamming maybe since he had all those grading service names in the title?

    I wonder if smoeone will invent the cab sladdy to carry round the pieces with. image
