<p>[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 2023306, member: 75105"]I alleviate the issue altogether by using paper flips. I've received way too many coins that have had white flecks on them from the dust leftover from the die cutter punching out the holes in the cardboard 2x2's. This will also leave flecks which WILL cause black spots on high grade/proof silver coins. These flecks also "stick" to the coin, and are difficult to remove, even with an squeeze type air duster. They will also scratch proof coins as well. I have also bought slabbed coins that have had these on them as well, and can be very ugly/distracting. The other nice thing about using paper flips is that if you tuck away unc/proof coins for 5-30 years, they can tone very nicely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
