[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 387527, member: 112"]Steve - what's the first rule of coin collecting ? Never touch the surface of the coin. Cotton gloves or bare fingers, one way or the other you have to push the coin down into the hole in the album. Either way, you are going to mark the coin with fingerprints or hairlines from the gloves. It is ineviatble. And then of course you have the other possible detriments of album use - unsightly toning, scratches from the slides etc. With Air-Tites none of that happens.
