KeepTheChange Valued Member United States 358 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 3:29 pm Pulled directly from a sealed mint bag. Heres a neat example of "bag toning". It most likely sat up against the mesh fabric of the mint bag for quite sometime to achieve this look. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/15/2021 9:23 pm I have 5000 Cent Mint Sewn Bag that has several coins with large purple fingerprints on otherwise solid red coins. I don't have any images of the fingerprints, but I'll see if I can find them this weekend. This is the strange mint sewn bag that had 5624 coins that were all struck with clashed and over polished dies and die rotation from 11° to 40° on most of the coins. I posted about the bag almost TEN years ago here at CCF. (Wow how time flies!) http://goccf.com/t/89269 ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
