[QUOTE="littlehugger, post: 2105845, member: 58633"]I just added a bunch of proofs to my albums and the gloves were very useful handling them, and the uncirculated coins from mint sets too. I have collected forever, and it seems a nice pair of gloves are a far better solution than the sweat, salt, oil, etc, from your hands. Coin tongs also seem rather clumsy, increasing the chances of dropping it and doing actual physical damage. I have seen nice older coins on Ebay, whose "toning" looked an awful lot like someone's fingerprints. Even holding by the edge, its easy for those with big hands to have the skin overlap the coins fields. .[/QUOTE]
