    I just got my 2 sets yesterday and one of the "W" coins was sealed with piece of green lent from someones clothing. I know it's not a big deal, but it all I ever think about when I look at that box and I'm constantly reminded about it. I was wondering how I could open the sealed coin to remove the piece of lent, without damaging the case.

    Any suggestions? I figured you guys might know.

    Most capsules can be pried open with your fingernail - but use a piece of cloth to remove the lint, have seen this a few times before. Don't blow into the capsule or touch the insides with a bare finger.

    Thanks for your comments, I finally figured it out. I'm new to the silver numismatics world. I've been recently acquiring bullion since I've awoken to the economic disaster that's going on and now I've found myself addicted to buying numismatics like the Lunars, pandas and the 25th anniversary set. I should probably stop and continue buying bullion only but since reading forums like this one and the china-mint, I've already had the value of the coins I invested in, already go up in value before they even get to my door, because of the advice and info I've learned about which coins to buy and what coins not to buy.
