Hello Mr. Hall,
I know you have stated in the past that PCGS graders do not wear cotton gloves because they can make you lose your 'feel' on the coin. However, has PCGS ever considered asking graders (and people in the sealing room) to wear thin latex type gloves such as those used in the medical industry? These type of gloves are very inexpensive and would actually give graders a better 'tacky feel' than using bare hands and would protect coins from skin oils, accidental fingerprints, as well as other contaminants.
Also, has PCGS ever considered using some type of compressed air in the sealing room immediatly before the coins are encapsulated to remove any type of small contaminants and prevent them from being encapsulated with the coin? thanks

PCGS already uses a blower for holders before coins are holdered, and it's a special moisture filtered air blower that we've been using for over 10 years.
