Use a plastic tongs, and press the coin in with a flat piece of plastic, without moving it across the surface of the coin. Plastic on plastic. placing in a two x two, first air blow the surface of the 2x2 first then pick the coin up only by the edge, with clean, dry, hands. Once stapled, press the staples flat to the board surface on both sides. This will prevent the staples from scratching the coins and cutting the plastic covers.</p><p>Cotton will scratch the surface of a UNC or Proof coin. I have not used a micro fiber one. The Mint uses tongs on the edges of a coin, and you can see some of this on some of the process on TV and home information, that you can buy, or see on the internet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
