If it was handled by the edges like you are supposed too it should be okay. Coin gloves are a good buy and can save a lot of grief. Cleaning it is out of the question. Keep an eye on it to see if your finger print shows up if you handled the coin improperly. If you only handled it for a very short time it should be okay.

Gold, platinum and silver as investments?
I’d like to start investing in precious metals as part of my overall investment portfolio.
Is it better to buy the actual coins, a US Gold Eagle, for instance, buy the ETF, or find a mutual fund that specializes in precious metals?
If there really was an economic or governmental collapse, couldn’t the ETF or mutual fund become worthless as well?
What coins (preferably in US coinage) use a high percentage of platinum? Please include sources or be specific?
DO NOT mention the U.S. Eagle, Chinese Panda, and Australian Koala Bear platinum coins; I already know about those.
