Cancerhater New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 06:30 am This is a question in regards to finding and preserving an MS quality coin during a roll coin roll search. Fingerprints can be a collectors nightmare. So I'm asking for advice. Am I wasting my time wearing gloves while searching through penny rolls as to not add anymore fingerprints to what an MS quality find may already have? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

If you want to go through these and not wear gloves then simply pick up the coins by the edges . Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 08:17 am I have CRHed since 1971 and looked through a few cents in my day,check my signature line . I have never worn cotton gloves including when I go through MS rolls,just be careful and hold only the edge of the coin. Also,never talk or breath over a coin when you are examining it.
