<p>[QUOTE="coop, post: 568920, member: 17656"]Here you go. I bought this coin with the pitch of the finder found it had a piece of wire in-beded in the coin and touched it and it came off. I could tell it was a struck through wire and bought it. After about a year the finger prints of the finder was visible. They weren't visible when I bought it, but now they are there for good. Even a touch a while back can make finger prints appear in the future. The oils, sweat, salt from the touch can leave permanent marks that can be seen later on. So best to make sure hands are washed and only hold coins by the rims.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
