I'm not really seeing the fingerprints or toning on that one.  I have a couple. Fingerprints don't always create toning, just stronger prints.  This one has some toning that may be related to the prints:  This one just has a lot of prints  :  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Halloween isn't for quite a while, so I'm afraid I wouldn't post anything. Fingerprints always scare me to death!

From an 1880 S. The obverse has very dark toning so there might be some there if I could see through it. Print is near the Mint Mark.   |

Interesting topic. It is certainly nice to see beauty in something like this.

I'll have to see what I have. I try to avoid fingerprint coins, but I may have a few.

hmm I think I will have to pay more attention
I think the fingerprint toning would be very subtle....

You matched the finger prints to that other photo.

It looks great. I think fingerprints really give coins character. Much more so than boring blast white ms coins. |

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 won't purchase a coin with a fingerprint. It's a pet peeve of mine.
