What kind of gloves should I be using when placing coins in an album? Im going to be recieving an album in the mail either today or tommorrow, and ive got a few coins to put in it, very nice MS coins. Where would I get these gloves also, can I get them somewhere like a department or grocery store?

You should be able to get something similar at K-Mart or Wal-mart, I would imagine.

Wow, you must be really dexterous if you handle coins with your feet! Amazing!!!
some people are allergic to latex if you imagine how painful that may be ! (we might not be talking about 5 finger gloves either)
expect to pay 8-12 bucks per box of 100

use a clean piece of paper or cloth if you have to press a coin into a holder or some such.
I'd avoid latex or other rubber gloves, if you must wear them, then thin white cotton gloves.

You can get your gloves at just about any drug store, Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, etc.
Both the Cotton or the surgical type.
or mittens if you like.

I have read a lot about latex gloves on this forum, but are they really good?
I currently have some that I got at the auto parts store that are called "Mechanic's Latex Gloves" and say "talc free" on the package.
However, there's also a note in the fine print that says "Powdered with absorbable dusting powder, U.S.P."
I don't think I can bring myself to try these gloves on pretty new MS and PF coins. I have used a clean cotton sock before and it worked well.

I used to use thin cotton gloves, but I do not like how quickly they absorb my finger oils; they quickly become cottony contamination rags.
I currently use lint free, chemical free LCD screen wipes. You have to be a little careful with them, as they don't fit like a glove.
I'm sure there is a better solution.

Is that response from Placid or Flaccid

............this is a great question for the tpg graders to answer................any in the audience???
<< <i>Blue Nitrile gloves.... no talc or powder... chemical free... Cheers, RickO >>
That's what I use and they work great. Next time you're visiting your doctor and are left alone in the examining room, just grab a handful from the box and put them in your pocket.

None of the grading services use them. The dealers and collectors at shows dont use them. Have a pad below you and be careful. You will drop more coins than ever before with gloves on.

Here, here. I know I did.
<< <i>the old advice has always been "cotton gloves". i can tell you after a couple of experiences, i DON'T recommend cotton gloves for handling coins, becuase there's plenty of opportunity for the coin to slip away. latex surgicals are much better, imo. as far as pressing coins into an album, i recommend a simple piece of saran wrap between your finger & the coin as you press it in.

get the kind without the powder

Yes I agree - after the first drop of a valuable coin you'll wish you had just washed your hands well and used care instead of gloves...
