Showing the proof nickels.

Where have you heard this? Never! The ANA advises AGAINST white cotton gloves, even for proofs. You will NEVER EVER see a grader at either PCGS nor NGC ever use cotton gloves. NEVER! Ask them, they'll tell you so directly.

Those look pretty frosty....

 

all very nice, I quite like proofs, I recently bought a 2003 proof 50 cent piece.

 

Yes in a certain light they do. I can't get any clearer pictures when it's the shiny mirror look. All smears into one. So I get it In different lighting for it not to be so mushy my camera isn't taking right.

 

In hand they are all mirror like. I can just about see my own reflection.

 

That sounds like correct guidance to me. The damage from dropping a coin is far worse than a possible fingerprint.

 

I like them!!! Coin shop or eBay??? Just wondering. I worry about eBay buys!?

 

Is that a clipped 75?

 

In my younger years a very good dealer always did this and he recommended it. Since that was 35 plus years ago...

 

No. It's my fat finger covering it. And it was all given to me.

 

Thats exactly what i was talking about you can defiantly see the blue in those nice the 75 is real eye catcher

 

Thats the blue. I'm talkin about nice like the75 s nice

 

Yeah that blue is nice on it.

 

Don't wear gloves. You can dip your fingertips in acetone before handling proofs as a precaution if you're concerned about oils.

Gloves make it easier to drop coins since they impair dexterity, and particles in the fibers can scratch the coins.
