PNWHiker Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 08/15/2021 02:58 am Just got lucky with this work place find. Clearly lost a lot of Lustre though. Any idea on what it could be graded as. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19154 Posts	Posted 08/15/2021 07:31 am An impaired proof--by definition, a proof found in 'circulation'. Grade might fall in the low PF range--62-63 perhaps, given the slightly soft photos posted. Report this Post to the Staff
PNWHiker Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 08/15/2021 08:20 am The obverse is definitely not up to proof standards Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18663 Posts	Posted 08/15/2021 09:43 am fingerprints really kill this one as they are more prominent on proofs. not sure it was circulated but it was handled improperly. PF63 Report this Post to the Staff

Finger print or not I think I would put this coin at PF-62 DCAM The hit over the wing hurts Report this Post to the Staff

EDM Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 07:06 am Wouldn't acetone remove the fingerprint if it wasn't on there very long? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 10:19 am Define not very long . The longer it is on the coin the more permanent the print becomes. The acid from the oils etches the metal. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
