<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 5227078, member: 27832"]Doug always says it's a bad idea to use gloves because they make it more likely that you'll <i>drop</i> a coin, and that's more dangerous than handling it with bare fingers (properly, by the edge). I've also seen videos indicating that TPG graders use bare hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have cotton gloves, but I haven't used them yet. I don't have great dexterity to begin with, and I don't want to impair it further. (And I do have well-kept <i>nails</i>, which makes it easier to pick things up from a flat surface.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
