Just the oils from your hand or contact from another coin is enough to lower the grade of an MS67 silver or gold piece. Your coin has already survived decades of daily handling and 1,700 years of being buried in the ground. Simple handling is unlike to do it any further damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>My advice is to keep it as is. Hold it in your bare hands and try to imagine all it has experienced and been used for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
