I'm not sure what happened to this cent that I saw on e-bay. Only image I have.  |

I'd say and it's a pretty detailed one  |

Sometimes even sweat will get into the finger prints, leaving a salty affect on the coin. When the coin all turns brown, to me that is a signal it had lost of finger prints that removed the BU finish. (but that is just my idea)

And permanent. Pass Reminds of a project I thought about for some time, but never put into motion. Would you pass if was John Wayne's or Raquel Welch's finger print? In other words start a celebrity autographed coin collection using finger prints. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st

A great example of why we hold & handle our coins on the outside edge.

Once a fingerprint shows, damage to the surface has already occurred.

As fingerprinted coins go, must admit this is pretty spectacular!  |

It definitely looks etched or baked into the surface. So you think if that cent was part of a crime scene investigation, the guy (person) could be identified?  |

I have a PCGS slabbed MS 66+ with a faint print above E P you on the reverse, I think its a 1965 circulation strike. The coins unbelievable on the obverse and reverse at one time was "I suppose"stunning. Its pretty obvious why it didn't make 67. When I bought it at auction it didn't show in pics. at home I opened it and let out an ahhhh crap. If I can find it will load pics but doubt I can get the butterfingers eating mint employees print to show. Your example is totally cool and shows what fingerprints do to an MS coin.
