[QUOTE="zaneman, post: 221364, member: 3970"]Hi, Welcome! It is okay to hold a coin by the its edge, provided you grip it hard enough to hold it, but no so hard that you risk pushing the coin into your fingers so much that it may fingerprint the front or the back of the coin. Every coin has 3 sides. The front is called the obverse, the back is called the reverse, and the edge is called just that. Many people mistakenly refer to this as the rim. The rim is the portion of the coin that is raised, around the perimeter of the edge on the obverse and the reverse of the coin. I hope that my explanation was not too confusing, and if you have any more specific questions, I'll try and clarify. :smile[/QUOTE]
