If you don't have cotton gloves or would prefer a method that won't leave lint or dust residue behind on the coins surface you might want to consider investing in a box of disposable latex-free vinyl surgical gloves. Just make sure they are indeed the latex "powder free" variety so as to ensure you won't be leaving any residue behind. If you work in a healthcare setting then you probably are familiar with this product. I have tried them and they seem to work great for coins.
