<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 1639777, member: 22331&quot;]<b>Great Suggestions!!</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe your suggestions to be proper for the novice handling coins, especially always handling the coin by the edge when possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally wear a glove on my secondary hand to apply very limited pressure when the coin can no longer be addressed by the edge, as in Air-Tite assembly. I generally currently only assemble coins from mint tubes into the holders, and inspect for contamination/damage with a high power optical device before final closure. In the past I observed your recommendations when encapsulating &quot;circulated coins&quot;, regardless of state. I&#039;m very concerned about the long term effects of contaminates on ones hands, and haven&#039;t observed any damage from gloves when patient even low pressure is applied by same.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe your statements about TPG certifiers, and others, not using proper precautions when handling coins, as I&#039;ve received graded coins with prominent finger-prints, as also apparently experienced by others in this venue: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t217700/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t217700/">http://www.cointalk.com/t217700/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I just know that an individual receiving my encapsulated product will not experience the frustration of finger-prints, when assembled with patient precautions. I believe proper utilization of tools is important for success, including removal of surface oils/contaminants before unprotected manual handling of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO :bow:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
