Message:: [QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1776969, member: 75105"]It's not so much the fact that the holder's have dust, it's the fact that the manufacturer makes the claim "virtually dust free". When I called the distributor, they said the manufacturer uses a vacuum during a manufacturing. As far as I know, there are only two manufacturers of cardboard 2x2 holders, Guardhouse, and Cowens, neither of which have their own website. I had some 2x2 as one time, that were in fact dust free. However, it has been so long since I ordered them, that I cannot remember who made them and where they came from. I know at one time Whitman made them, but I believe they no longer do. Here is a photo of the dust, and the resulting mess it produces. You cannot remove this with air. They are statically charged, which is why they stick to the window. They stick to your fingers, and any coins you handle, they will transfer to it. It's a damn good thing I don't collect proofs, because these would be a bloody nightmare for proofs. [ATTACH=full]283667[/ATTACH] The resulting mess it leaves on a coin. Air removes some off it, but the rest sticks, and if this were to happen to a poof coin, it would be impossible to remove without leaving marks.  [ATTACH=full]283669[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
