    Thanks, everyone. Cracking that Peso out of it's NGC holder almost turned into a disaster. I placed it on the floor and (what I thought) tapped the edge with the hammer. I must've hit it at some odd angle because the holder shattered. image Luckily, all the shards shot away from the coin and there weren't any new scratches on the surface.

    Very nice coins Roman specially the peruvian and the caballito. Now if I may ask why crack it out of the holder? Was it just to photograph it? Is it going to be slabbed again?
    Congratulations on such gorgeous stuff.
