weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 4:04 pm Hmmmm... I don't wish to sound like I watch too much CSI, but how do you get a fingerprint on one side and not the other? Do you put stick-um on one finger only and press down on the reverse to pick it up? Wouldn't the obverse of this coin be more apt to show a fingerprint than the reverse? There are, after all, more wide open, smooth fields on the obverse that would seem more susceptible to fingerprints. Just sayin... Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 4:38 pm I only wear gloves when putting coins in my Dansco. I actually dropped a SLQ once wearing gloves and while trying to locate the coin, stepped on it :o Talk about insult to injury! It was MS too. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 5:38 pm when trying to press it into something like an album you would take your thumb and press one side or another to get it to seat correctly. Just as a TPG employee would press on one side to get it to seat into the slab. That is how you get a finger print on one side and not another, you are pressing it against something else Report this Post to the Staff
