Help me crack this! -Cracked!

I've smacked it,
whacked it,
slapped it.
Hit it,
bit it,
whipped it.
Nudged it,
crushed it,
flushed it
but I still can't crack it.
Is there an approved method that will work
without further destroying this already ravaged-by-time 2 sol coin?
Ajaan, being a mushroom of few words spake thusly: Take hacksaw. Saw off corner. Carefully use screw driver to pry apart.
So be it:
abortive drill attempt upper, hacksaw success lower
Ultimately Ajaan had the right of it-all told took less than 2 min. No hu-hu...

Bandsaw. So says my in-house expert slab cracker. Who has also informed me I am no longer allowed to submit SEGS slabs for cracking--those are the worst.
Well, I don't have a band saw handy, but sure as shootin' I got a hacksaw and a screwdriver.
Liberation forthcoming.
Thanks guys!

He did mention it's significantly easier now that he has a bandsaw. He used something like a hacksaw before.
Hey! Someone paid good money to entomb that coin!

Package it in a box marked "fragile", then ship it to yourself through the carrier of your choice.
I've seen many guys twist em apart. Might wear gloves for your safety!!!
Enjoyed numismatic conversations with Eric P. Newman, Dave Akers, Jules Reiver, David Davis, Russ Logan, John McCloskey, Kirk Gorman, W. David Perkins...

Sweet. I've been a slab guy since I started collecting and only broken out a few for a 7070 - no easy task.
You did good my friend.
