<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2960184, member: 73983"]WOW!! I know how to handle a coin. I literally was holding the edge of the coin. My fingers never once touched the surfaces of it. I was waving my finger in front of it to show the reflection. My hands were not "GREASY"! I gave the coin an acetone bath and I washed my hands using dish soap (which is designed to break down oils) before handling the edge. Also, TPG's don't wear gloves when they are grading your coins, in case you didn't know. Not wearing gloves gives a much more positive control of the coin while handling it. My finger in the back is curved so that it is only contacting the edge, it's there to prevent the coin from being dropped. Plus if I had accidentally touched the surfaces with my clean fingers, the coin would have gone directly into an acetone bath. Come on, give me a little more credit, I know what I am doing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
