<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3186985, member: 36230&quot;]With your bare (clean) fingers, but only the edges. However, this is a general &quot;rule&quot; that doesn&#039;t logically apply to all coins. Let&#039;s be honest here: the coin has been handled many, many times in its past so touching the surfaces isn&#039;t going to make any real difference. Please understand this is in no way a knock upon the coin, but only accepting reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have to disagree with Tommy (respectfully, of course) regarding the use of tweezers. While it may seem like a good idea, the loss of dexterity even from using gloves has caused many a fine coin to suffer an unfortunate fate, and the same certainly holds true for tweezers. However, and as with so much in this hobby, how one handles coins is a personal decision with no right or wrong about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, you&#039;ve come a long way in your short time here. It&#039;s been a pleasure to see and I offer a heartfelt kudos for all your efforts![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
