[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3575481, member: 24633"]Using your thumb and forefinger to hold a coin by the[B] edge[/B] (not the rim) is the preferred method for handling a coin with your bare hands. I'm not so sure that washing your hands before handling coins will remove all traces of oil from your skin, but it is certain that, left untreated, the oil from your skin on a coin will become permanently etched into the surface.
