JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21643 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 11:50 am Looks like the Narrow 0 Variety. Too bad about the fingerprint, it would have been an excellent coin without it. Report this Post to the Staff
47P7 Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 11:58 am Hello Fellows, are you sure it is one or more Fingerprints? when you enlarge it, it is IMO, too deep for a FP? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21643 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 12:21 pm After a period of time, chemicals in our body oils can actually etch the metal. In this case the oils could have potentially been on the coin for over 140 years so any fingerprint would have had plenty of time to cause the damage. Report this Post to the Staff

Up until the late 1980s, the mint workers handled the coins coming off the presses with bare hands.
