[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1787243, member: 307"]Doug, are you quite so sure??? Surgeons wear gloves for those exact reasons that you mention. Nitrile and latex gloves allow for tactile sensation through the gloves and their rubber-like nature actually help with people's grip. I wouldn't think of a surgeon as clumsy. In fact, quite the opposite is true. While the reasons you site are all good reasons to stop using cotton gloves, they are all good reasons [b]to wear[/b] latex or nitrile gloves. As for handling coins by their edges, even doing this will transfer oil from your hand to the coin. Period. If we are truly stewards of the coins in our presence, shouldn't we be the best stewards that we can?[/QUOTE]
