[QUOTE="kanga, post: 374622, member: 9270"]GLOVES: Most sources recommend lintfree cotton gloves first, latex second. And, yes, powder-free on the latex gloves. TONING, CORROSION & CARBON SPOTS: To the best of my knowledge, no, they can't "[U]jump[/U]" from one coin to another. But corrosion in particular can migrate from one coin to another if they are in contact. Best solution: Remove the conditions that caused the problem in the first place. That means maintaining a relatively constant temperature and low humidity. And a clean environment. Carbon spots are generally caused by dust, etc. settling on a coin. (And sneezing on a coin too.)[/QUOTE]
