Awesome tips, I saw the hammer video before but I was worried with my luck the coin would fly across the room under a table/furniture to never be found.
The ban saw was simple, cut off edges, take top off. no shattering.
The vice clamp is a good idea, but I still have that Murphy's Law factor. I swear Murphy likes me. lol.
Hammer to upper left, upper right lower left and then lower right wrapped in a not too thick towel
