How do you get a proof ASE out of an airtight?

The top lid came off very easily, and the coin just WILL NOT (excuse the frustration)

Come out of the other half. Its like someone jammed that stinker in there and haha fool.........go ahead
and try to get this one out

Please help

Since the obverse side came off easy, I need to protect it when turned over to image.
If you are wondering what that is, its resting on an insert from a cracked out coin holder.

Try putting it in the freezer for 30 min.

Well a surgical cut with a exacto knife on the edge of the plastic worked

At least in has started to tone

In an hour and a half?

No, the reason I bought it was for the simple fact it had begun to tone
but I couldn't get it out of that darn airtight.....see first image. It was
toned inside the plastic

I think plastic melts in some chemicals that apparently do not harm metal. LOL.... But don't try this at home, kids.

I've had a few like this but all I ever did was place it upside down over my bed. Thumbs in the back and fore fingers on the rims and just flex it a little and they dropped out.

I use the Exacto knife method also.
