drhscl Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 07/05/2022 12:32 pm Just a pick up this morning. The "Y" seems fairly straightforward too me, but is there an "8" to the right of it between the 4th and 5th columns? I will eventually get a system that allows me to take better resolution photos. Sorry for the quality. Report this Post to the Staff

drhscl Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 07/05/2022 12:45 pm Thank you. I thought so, but I couldn't tell if there was an "8" or not? I really appreciate the confirmation on the die clash. A lot of times I think I'm seeing something and it turns out to be my imagination, lol. The fingerprints I don't know how to remove. It was there before I started to look at the coin. I've had that before and it almost seems like they are etched into the surface they're so stubborn. I appreciate your help. Report this Post to the Staff

drhscl Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 07/05/2022 1:06 pm Thank you for that. I know the pics I attached aren't very focused so you are unlikely to see this, but as I look more closely on the obverse of the coin I can appreciated some of the other findings associated with an ADC-1c-1981-01.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/05/2022 1:34 pm Fingerprints are forever especially on copper unless it was you who put the print on a coin and then soak it in acetone right away. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/05/2022 2:16 pm I agree, fingerprints are forever. Never try to "clean" them off, unless as John1 said they're your prints in which case acetone might help. Report this Post to the Staff
