Hi all,

Need some more help with this 2003 20 cents. It has impressions underneath the normal platypus
which I have not seen before....any ideas? The coin is in very good condition.

Cheers

Fingerprints can be easily fixed by soaking in water for a day or two, if they seem raised or something it could be a glue like substance, what I am interested in is it really a 2003 coin, that is like a coin that never existed!

For a circulation coin fingerprints don't make that much of a difference, but still good to have a play around and see how it will do with a soak, don't rub it to hard drying it as you don't want to scratch the surface.
Have fun :)
