[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 481132, member: 112"]If you read my post and keep them within the intended context it is quite easy to understand for there is quite a difference between using cotton gloves to hold a coin by the edge and touching the surface of the coin with cotton gloves. I agree with that as well, in fact if you read one of my earlier comments you will see that say gloves are not even necessary for circulated coins, I say to just pick them up. While you and I agree with this it appears that Dru does not. Dru says flat out that soft cotton gloves cannot scratch the metal surface of a coin just by touching it. OK, let's be a little bit more specific here. This application of mineral oil or Vaseline to mint state coins - are you claiming that Conder101 or any of the other "big dogs" recommend this practice ? And specifically what MS coins are you talking about ? You mean except the one where Dru says that cotton gloves will not scratch the metal of a coin ?[/QUOTE]
