  Think large vise- 6" throat might do it.

  Depends on just how much intact you mean. Completely intact, I don't think so. You could just cut the edges off with a saber saw and pry the thing open. But that would be kind of noticable.

  My state quarter sets I was able to take a razor blade and pop the two sides apart. Then I inspeced the coins, and put them back together.

  they do pop apart, look for a seam on the edge. get a small knifeblade in the seam and work your way around and it will pop open.

  Take a sharp knife...like a pocket knife, and work it into the seam in between the two halves of the case. It will separate nice as you please.

  On the newer sets there is a little hole in the top corner of the set. Stick i knife in there. It should come apart. Be careful when doing this Don't hit kennedy he already lost part of his head once

  coins are my life

  That just isn't right. Torn between humor and the shivers on that one. I am grasping for an Austin Powers one-liner to respond with, but just can't...do...it. I don't want to cause trouble and plan to stay a-head of any controversy you are starting. I will go with the humor aspect you obviously intended but just don't get in over your head with other board members that may get righteous.
