<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 784446, member: 6036&quot;]All of us are coached from Day One on a vitally important rule :</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Handle a coin only by it&#039;s edges; never touch the face.</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The vast majority of albums violate this rule. One must fat-finger the coin to push it into a hole.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That&#039;s one thing for circulated coins, but another matter entirely for proofs. I think it&#039;s foolish to stick a big fat finger on the face of a proof. There are many proofs with fingerprints on the obverse because someone shoved it into an album. That act compromised the coin for the rest of eternity.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If your album is different and avoids this problem, great. Perhaps someone has a technique which solves this problem; if so, please share. Beware ! Some problems don&#039;t show up for years. We think our idea is a winner, and it&#039;s not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
