<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 5630551, member: 77814&quot;]I obtained a bunch of pennies from an estate a few years ago.</p><p>They were all slimy, for lack of better words.&nbsp; I asked and was told the home owners were smokers, and as the drapes, walls, etc were nicotine stained the coins were slimy from it.&nbsp; Smoke lingers, dissipates in the air and infiltrates all over the place.&nbsp;&nbsp; The silver coins had, for lack of better words, a thin film of black sludge on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those cotton gloves probably are too porous and hand sweat/heat is transferring to the coin. Maybe get some higher quality gloves.&nbsp; I don&#039;t use cotton gloves at all but I don&#039;t take my coins out of their capsules very often except for maybe pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
