This one is from a 2 coin proof set:

First one of these I've opened, like filleting a fish.

You need to use a SHARP knife  and work around the capsule to open it without destroying it :ok:

Ya, a box cutter will do, as long as its sharp. The joint is slightly closer to one side than the other. There comes a point when, if you have them, you can get your fingernails in and lever the capsule apart, manually.
Edit: Be careful! This could take several minutes, maybe longer.
