Why buy cotton gloves for numismatics? Fingerprints are not «harmless dirt»—they carry salts and acids that attack silver and become handling damage in the market’s eyes.
This is the purchase decision guide; for technique and cotton vs nitrile, read hub `guantes-de-algodon-numismatica` and `guantes-algodon-monedas`.
What to buy (checklist)
- White cotton, no cheap silicone finish.
- S/M/L if shared desk—skip «one size».
- Flat seams on rim-touching fingers.
How many pairs you need
Rule of thumb: one clean pair per heavy sorting session; replace when gloves snag or look grey.
