Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 12/30/2014 5:52 pm I have searched the forum on handling coins and have some questions. There is a great deal of good info about whether using bare hands is OK or not, gloves (cotton or latex), handling the edge only, avoid breathing on etc. What I haven't seen though is how to go about getting coins out of coin tubes or mint rolls to avoid getting dings or scratches on them. Anyone have a good process to share? Report this Post to the Staff

But he is getting hairlines all over them from fingering the fields with those gloves. Best Regards, George Report this Post to the Staff

To answer your question about how to handle coins in tubes is "very carefully". Unfortunately there is no good way. Report this Post to the Staff

As for getting them in the tube same thing, unless you don't have a full tube worth - then it gets ugly Report this Post to the Staff
