<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 612395, member: 112"]It is important to understand that when the term "thumb" is used in context with regard to coins what is meant is this - you rub your thumb back and forth or in a circular motion for a short period of time. This is done to remove marks, spots, blend discoloration - in other words to alter the surface of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thumbing a coin will not leave fingerprints on the coin as it is impossible to do so because of the motion.
