I just bought a &quot;lot&quot; of several proof sets. Two sets had been opened at one time and the cent fingerprinted. Just the cent and only on the obverse. The reverse looked like they could have been &quot;gradable&quot; items. So if those are ruined, that&#039;s just a few less proof sets for that year. Sounds stupid, but why else would someone who handles lots of coins not use gloves handling proofs ?</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
