    Wow, you sure did crack 'em good!

    Coins look nice and I hope you get the grades you're hoping for.

    Happy slabbing......I think you will get at least one.
    I think they both deserve it but the odds are that one will go 67....it's just the grading gameimage

    Judging by how those slabs ended up, I think someone might have some pent-up aggression toward ANACS!

    Nice coins, I really like them both.

    Looks like anger problems with ANACS holders ?
    Good luck on your regrade !!! image

    I think the safer thing to do would be to cross at any grade, but that's just me.

    Shane, i thought the dynamite would be fast and easy, but it kind of hurts ! i will try a cutting torch on the next slabs i crack (melt) .

    Very nice looking coins! To me both coins look 67 clean as best as I can tell from the pics... Perhaps the 47-S has better 7 luster though... Atleast looks that way from the pics on my puter... Good luck and hope you do well

    I just cracked out a few coins from those new ANACS holders.....what a beatch!

    I used a bandsaw to cut the slab right along the label tip as did the OP.

    Then I put the resulting coin portion without the header(label tip) in a vise.

    This allowed me to take a small screw driver to fit in between the two halves and gently open the slab and remove the coin.

    Then I took the 'header' portion and put it in the vise and used said small screw driver to remove the curved end 'header' insert.

    The vise pressure allows the screw driver to be inserted easier.

    The double sided label is sticky taped to the header.

    I cannot remember a slab that difficult to crack.....anyone else have a tough crack out story?

    I just got some very pleasing grades back on some Roosevelt's yesterday, one being top pop. So if they look pretty good in hand, you have a fair shot with getting good grades from the graders. Good luck!

    I'm surprised the coins didn't get damaged with all the aggression directed toward those poor helpless slabs.

    GB, you did it the hard way. Wrap the slab in a towel, give the side edge a couple of firm raps with a good size hammer. You'll hear and feel when it cracks. Open the towel to see if enough was done. If not wrap it again and this time use the hammer on the opposite edge a couple of times. Takes about 30 seconds with 100% success rate.

    Too bad this post is over a year old and the OP never updated it. I'd be interested in seeing the results.
