jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 05:27 am Without a doubt it's a finger print. Once the oils from our finger leech into the surface they can not be removed Finger prints kill any value a coin may have. Report this Post to the Staff

Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 03/18/2021 10:26 am I know someone who could tack down the owner of that print. @Annaann911 - No worries. We all find things we can't explain and sometimes find the explanation is simple. The fun of collecting coins! Keep trying! Report this Post to the Staff
