Anyone who takes a coin out of its capsule for a closer look almost always leaves marks with bare fingers. These cotton coin gloves prevent exactly that. They place a soft layer between skin and metal so that your pieces stay clean. This makes them part of the basic equipment of every collection, whether it consists of a few favourite pieces or has grown over many years.

What fingerprints do to precious metal

Skin constantly gives off a little oil and moisture. Both are left behind on the surface of a coin when you touch it. On silver, such marks often show up over time as dark spots or discolouration that can hardly be removed. Fingerprints are also clearly visible on gold, especially on shiny surfaces. For collectors, the condition of a coin counts for a great deal, so it pays to prevent such marks from forming in the first place.

Cotton for delicate surfaces

Cotton is soft and pliable. Its texture does not rub across the surface, so damage from handling is virtually ruled out. This lets you turn a coin into the light at your leisure, lift a bar out of its compartment or rearrange your collection without worrying about every touch.

The gloves are particularly helpful when many pieces pass through your hands: when sorting them into capsules and albums, when counting your holdings or when you show your collection to your family. Keep the gloves clean and dry with the rest of your accessories, and they will be ready to hand the next time you open your collection.

Proof: even with gloves, hold coins by the edge only

Coins in Proof quality have mirror-like fields and finely frosted designs. They show every touch particularly clearly. Even when wearing gloves, you should therefore not touch such pieces on the design but hold them at the side by the edge. This keeps the surface flawless, and your finest coins retain their lustre.

Accessories from Leuchtturm

The gloves come from Leuchtturm, a German manufacturer that has been offering albums, capsules and other accessories for collectors for decades. A black label bearing the Leuchtturm lettering identifies the brand. The light-coloured cotton and the blue hem give the gloves a simple, well-kept appearance that suits a valuable collection. If you already use capsules or albums from this brand, the gloves round off your equipment in a fitting way.
