The OP is asking if gloves should be worn when pushing coins into a coin folder. I would say yes or use a clean cloth. Even if the coin is circulated, a fingerprint can potentially still be left. Personally I handle the coins by the edge and place them on the holes that they need to go into for my album. Then I use a glove for the final push into the hole.

I agree with that. I use a clean cotton cloth to push coins into album holes.

I've been hunting a of BU OBW 1961-D LMCs I got for 5x face, I've been using gloves so far. I've pulled 1 MS67 quality, and one that might make 67+, but that depends on whether a mark is a strike through or a hit.

If you have to use Folders, just keep a bag of cotton balls near and when adding a coin, simply press in with a cotton ball.
