Nothing beats a SEGS holder. Indestructable!

I once ran over a $3 Princess in a SEGS holder with my car. Not only was the coin undamaged, the SEGS holder was unblemished, as if nothing happened to it.

Maybe it is not a coincidence that the company is run by a "Briggs," well known in the armored car business!

    Say what you will about SEGS, but as much as the old saying is that the only two things that would survive an all-out nuclear exchange are cockroaches and Keith Richards, I think you'd have to add SEGS slabs to the list.

    Never heard of Briggs Security - perhaps you meant Brinks?

    Nonetheless, the SEGS holder is the toughest holder I have ever come upon. Luckily I have never had the need to attempt a crackout.

    And I'm wondering about running over a $3 Princess - there has to be more to that story....

    Could you give some detail on how this happened? Was it an accident or just a test. image

    There are easier ways to crack a coin out of a slab.
