Good god, are those finger prints on the front?
Ha possibly.
I had quite the struggle taking pics of the damn thing with just my phone trying to avoid glare.
Nevertheless it was wiped off immediately before I put it back in its case.
You should seriously consider getting a pair of cotton gloves.
Not gloves, but these:

Also for proof coins it can leave little pieces of cotton "dust".
I've found that if you put the finger cots on your thumb, forefinger and middle finger gives you great dexterity for handling the coin and the rubber gives you a sure grip.
Nice coin btw, glws!
