Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 12:11 am @toot, I agree that this is a nice coin. Is that a partial fingerprint in the field in front of Lincoln's forehead? If so, I wonder if it is too late to remove it.

I don't think acetone takes off fingerprints but I've heard that rubbing alcohol does if it's caught soon enough. Report this Post to the Staff
SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 06:22 am Nice find Toots! Unfortunately, preserving it with pure acetone has never worked on removing fingerprints...nor anything else short of a dremmel. I did a PSA on a previous post asking noobs not to eat Lay's potato chips and search coins with the same hand; the oil, grease and salt aren't helping the hobby. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 06:32 am Since it isn't super-fresh, I think that a soak won't likely do anything for that print unfortunately. On the plus side, it doesn't really detract too much from the coin IMHO.

Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 10:54 am Thanks guys! I checked it out last night, it is a fingerprint. It's been soaking in acetone all night. I'll remove it shortly air dry it and stick it in a 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff
