Quote:I absolutely love this coin. I paid $53 for it. I have it posted on ebay now. I think at least some of this toning was caused by a fingerprint. I agree. But if you absolutely love it, why sell it?

It's perfect for this thread. Thanks for posting bro! Just pop it in the microwave to really advance the toning.

I know. I guess those fingerprints fortunately or unfortunately initiated the toning.

Over the years I've seen mint and proof sets with fingerprints on the coins. I've shown them to my wife. Years ago, she worked for the FBI as a fingerprint examiner. She said, those prints could easily be traced back to the mint employee.
