Use gloves to handle coins?

jogbill

Does anyone use gloves when handling coins? Is there a special type of glove for use with coins? Thanks.

Not a bad practice, I have used latex gloves in the past, some that we used at Intel in a cleanroom enviroment, however, a clean hand and holding the coin by the rims will suffice, as this is what PCGs does......

Use the rubber ones (same as when you get your prostate checked by your doctor.)

most raw coins are best handled with gloves,nobody wants fingerprints !
i use cotton.
latex should be ok,get the un-powered kind,most auto parts stores carry the latex now.

the Latex gloves I am refering to are of high quality, yet I have seen them at medical supply centers.

we used these gloves in the fab and we used them to handle our quartz. These gloves prevented the passing of contaminates such as sodium (found in human sweat) from being transfered to our quartz thereby affecting our process.

In a earlier thread sometime back I was made aware of latex gloves being powederd, what I have seen at medical supply centers this wasn't the case, atleast with the latex gloves we saw there, as surgical gloves should be free of powders and contaminates...

same at Intel, as introducing some powder would affect our die yields on our wafers.

If fresh ones aren't used, would this create AT??

If you didn't use fresh, clean gloves on a brilliant copper, it could be downgraded to R&B.

And I don't want to get too close to that brown part.

I don't bother with gloves in handling coins. I learned how to hold them years ago.
