[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2003061, member: 15929"]Well, if its a brilliant uncirculated coin, the possibility of leaving finger prints is very high. The oils or contaminants from your hands can damage the surface of the coin. If its a circulated coin, not much more damage could actually occur. Folks tend to forget the literal beating that most coins get while in circulation yet, they still seem to survive quite well. Especially the modern cnclad coins which are just super hard. Its all a matter of preference.[/QUOTE]
