<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1875214, member: 15199&quot;]The problem with any non-disposable gloves, but especially cloth ones, is that it is like using a pair of socks over and over. Maybe some do, but skin debris, oils, salt crystals, etc , can pass from the skin of your hands to the gloves and if you do not wash them every time ( beware detergents and soaps with chemicals that can change colors) then you are doing more damage possibilities than removing them. Cloth gloves&nbsp; touching the surface of the coin is like rubbing them with a cloth or towel. If you feel you can&#039;t handle a coin safely by the edge , use disposable latex or nitrile gloves once and discard. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, in the old days dealers and collectors might wear gloves to impress someone that they shouldn&#039;t touch it, but they are a hazard. If you drop a coin it doesn&#039;t matter much what you were holding it with <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
