I just use capsules that are slightly bigger! Otherwise, depending on what coin, I have used a paper clip and a pair of thin stamp tweezers but, as Chris says, a hard thwack usually does the trick. Clive.
Thought I'd put it about a bit myself as well. Thanks for that first bit of info. I'll try and sort that letter out for you later - just really busy packing at the moment. All the best Andy Not a problem. Cheers mate Kindest Regards, Clive.
