Sorry in advance this is from my phone. I have a beautiful jb/mason walking liberty expanded shell set. Recently the edges have faded a bit. Enough where my edge gripping or classic palming is becoming slippery do to my already dry hands. Anything I can do that will not effect the nesting of the [? Also have a matching flipper, what do you pro's use. Db stick tape like a schoolcraft? Or glue?

I heard Schoolcraft offered remilling. Roth's Rosin might be a good temporary fix.
...to all the coins I've dropped here

Scotch Permanent double-stick tape for the flipper.
Someone else once mentioned a kind of double sided carpet tape that was especially thin, but I don't have a name/source.

These are a beauty, and Look really milled but they are not and with my dry hands slip out of Edge Grip, Finger curl vanish, I think its the JW grip? and Edge grip is hard for me, so I didn't want to take a file to the edges and risk the [ snagging.

Those look pretty good or what I'd expect with worn Walkers. A crisp edge on worn coins just wouldn't look right. My palming skills with coins s*ck, but I don't think edges like that are the issue, and I find that real silver coins are a bit "tackier" than clad ones, even those with good edges. I'd try some other types of coins with good milling or sharp unmilled edges before having those worked on to make sure it'll be worth the effort.
... Or go with the Roth rosin method or the elusive but highly recommended Chamberlain's lotion (or similar)

Coins look very nice. If the elusive lotion continues to elude, try Rosewater and Glycerin.

Might have to go that route guys but yeah they tend to slip out a lot and its not my classic or edge grips I have always been decent with those moves. Web grib always escaped me but these WL give me issues. Thanks for the help guys.
