When I was speaking of albums, it's really the Dansco or Whitman style that show both sides of the coin with plastic slides that protect the coins after they are in. I still put them in very carefully but some contact can't always be avoided, hence the gloves.

The toning issues I try to account for by using the Dansco slip cases, then into a zip lock bag with a desiccant pack, then into the safe that has its own desiccant packs. A defense in depth.

Gloves seem to give me extra thumbs, so I use a soft white cotton napkin to push coins into my Dansco and will press on the rims only.

I had a short look and I found nitrile gloves that specifically don't have sulfur (sulphur?) :

Reflexx care N350:

I guess such gloves should be considered "definitely safe" for ancient coin handling, right?

@ToaToa I use latex-free, medical examination nitrite gloves when handling any of my specimen or proof coins.
