    Air-tites

    I just got a bunch of UNC dimes for my Dansco. The guy I bought them from placed them all in air-tites. Is there a trick to getting these damn things open with implalling your thumb?

      You might try a screw driver to pry open the two pieces. Becarefull not to touch the coin. (This is for the two piece air tights. Not the slabs.)

        Coop, I am using a screwdriver. The kind I us to work on my glasses. I have nearly stabbed myself three times already.

          I've always just wedged a blade in and popped them open that way.

            I use a small pocket knife, the blade edge fits in the crack and rotate the airtite, work your way around a few times and they pop. Carefully!

                I finally got them out. Thanks for the suggestions. I officially HATE air-tites now.

                  Hi
                  I use a exacto knife - but you could slip and cut your finger.

                    Well, never thought that looking at pennies would put us in a high injury risk category, lol. I just keep on learning in here. I love it!
