<p>[QUOTE="spy88, post: 9406, member: 968"]This isn't a concern you should worry about. It is the oil your body secretes through the pores that can ruin your coins. Fingerprints have ruined more coins then PVC! Over time, even coins held by the outside rims can turn bad. It's good advice to use 100% cotton gloves when holding/handling your coins, regardless of their value/rarity. I use Lisle gloves. Very thin, 100% cotton and extremely inexpensive. The only "problem" with them is that one size does not fit all. I have small hands so the fingers are baggy at the ends. I always make sure I am viewing my raws very close to a toweled surface in case I drop them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
