This is why I don't collect modern coins. No one cares if I touch an ancient coin and leave a fingerprint. Well, maybe they do. Or accidentally put a nano micron mark on it. Maybe NCG can make something in 100 years certifying this
medal as "
Mint with Fingerprint" or something. Maybe not as they overgrade as a matter of course. But, seriously, if I couldn't touch my coins, I wouldn't collect them. And, the few modern coins I have, I do touch. The obsession over grade turned me totally off anything modern.
