My sister wanted to look at one of my proof coins.
Dated 1979, immaculate it was.
My sister took it out it's sleeve and was holding it thumb over the front, index on the back...I dived at her to take it away before she could do anymore damage.
She said 'it's only a coin', luckily with a light wipe from a bit of fabric the recently made prints were eradicated.
I also once bought a silver proof coin straight from the royal mint...it arrived to me seeled in a box, then in a capsule...but on the queens face was a very noticeable thumb print...I was so annoyed.
The coin was 3 weeks late in delivery anyway...so I couldn't be bothered to return it.
As it happens, I have bought this years version of the coin...and it is currently 11 days late in delivery...I hope this one is print free.
