Handling & Safety

Nitrile or Cotton Gloves

Fingerprints are acid and oil, and on a proof or a brilliant uncirculated coin they are permanent within weeks. Nitrile grips better than cotton; cotton breathes. Either beats bare hands.

Handling & Safety

Padded Handling Mat

Coins get dropped. A soft surface between the coin and the desk is a two-dollar insurance policy on a four-figure object.

Ordered by fitment and archival safety, from a dataset that holds no commission information. Some links earn us a commission; none of them change what appears here or in what order. How that works.
