Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3329 Posts	Posted 06/01/2017 11:45 am I can't find my cotton gloves. Will un-powdered latex gloves cause damage to the coin in any way? "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 06/01/2017 12:05 pm Never use gloves. They hamper dexterity and make it more likely you'll drop and damage a coin. Just learn how to correctly handle coins. The only time I use a cotton glove is when I put BU coins in an album as to not leave a thumbprint Report this Post to the Staff

Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 06/01/2017 1:23 pm Use unpowdered latex, just as good as nitrile. It will not harm the coins, but some people are allergic and will get dermatitis. Report this Post to the Staff
