How To Hold a Coin

Howdy Y'all
Hope it is alright to post in the Frequently Asked Questions since ND is the only other poster...

Some people do not realize how that holding a coin the wrong way can decrease the value of the coin.

ALWAYS hold a coin buy the edge or rim....NEVER NEVER place your fingers on the face or back of the coin...if the coin is circulated it might not hurt but in the long run its better to be safe than sorry.

Fingerprints will appear on the coin if you touch it the wrong way.

I have a box almost full of "Problem Coins" because somebody has cleaned or held or damaged the coin is some way where it does not go in my collection.

So hold the coin right and be safe.

Speedy
