<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ProofRon, post: 149675, member: 5170&quot;]Thanks for the remarks-</p><p>Why don&#039;t one of you knowledgeable guys write a post on the FAQ or similar forum to list the entire procedure that guys like me now have to look all over for- something like &quot;Cracking, grading, and Shipping&quot;. (How to crack proof/uncirculated coins sets, handle them while grading, and preparing them for shipment to a grading company?).&nbsp; </p><p>I know it sounds like a lot, but it would save a lot of newbie time to be able to get all this info in one spot.</p><p>I was scared to death of cracking my first proof set, then seemed to have trouble handling the coins with white cotton gloves.</p><p>-how DO you manage to touch only the edge when the coin keeps slipping?</p><p>-If you do lightly touch the coin with cotton gloves does it damage the coin?</p><p>-Does&nbsp; placing the coin on a cotton cloth cause any damage?</p><p>-Does sliding the coin into a mylar flip cause any damage?</p><p>I&#039;m probably over-cautious, but the coin posts seem to imply that the grading companies pick up on the slightest possibility of the coin touching anything. </p><p>Are these things that experienced coiners just manage to avoid?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
