Air-tight coin capsules

I bought some genuine air tight capsules for my uncirculated sovs however they are so damn good i am wondering how to get into them when/if I want to sell some of my investment without actually damaging the coin. The capsules are incredibly tight compared to third party air-tights. Do I just use my less than air tight capsules so that I can actually access them if I want?

Can you just sell them in the capsules? Just add the cost of the capsule to the price.

Are you sure they are worth putting in capsules? If they are going to be sold unencapsulated you could just put them in ziplocked bags, they shouldn't tarnish and the bags should stop them getting scratched.

Or put them in 2x2s, cheaper than capsules.

We'll I quite like the look of my sovs in capsules and it shows them off well, these though are just incredibly secure compared to say lighthouse capsules.

Just be sure not to put coins in you might like to handle in the future as you have more chance of getting into Fort Knox than a genuine air-tite.
 
A hair dryer or box cutter will open any air tite
Hair dryer - heat the top/cover so the plastic expands making it easier to open
Box cutter - slowly/carefully insert into the seam
 
I've just worked out how to open them thanks to some googling. They really are highly recommended though. Just make sure it's the genuine company and not some third party one using the air tite name which I have seen in the UK.
