Step 3: Handling your coins

In order to preserve your coin's condition, you will have to handle it properly. To do so, follow these instructions.

Try to avoid any direct contact with your coins. If you have to handle it, use cotton gloves and hold the coin by its rim. Do not touch the coin on the surface, for eventually the coin will end up corroding. Fingerprints on coins cannot be removed, and can degrade the coin's value.
