Aii good people who have a discerning eye here is an interesting 1999 PA State Quarter I find attractive. While this coin was in general circulation, it was part of my quarter roll hunt for this week I think it could be a Mint State coin. Let me know your thoughts and regards!   |

Looks like a fingerprint on the obverse, a spender. John1  |

Nice coin. Yes on the finger print. Dark areas in the photos make it somewhat difficult to evaluate with certainty. Likely falls in the high AU range.

Fingerprint plus a scratch in the middle of it, agree a spender.

I saw the fingerprint and decided to soak the coin in acetone overnight! Patted it dry and this is the result. look at the base of george's bust to compare the coin for ID!   |

Since the fingerprint came off, it must have been yours.  But you're right, it is an attractive example. |

I must remember to wash my hands before I examine coins like I do after looking at coins. Regards all!

Panzaldi I am aware of how to handle coins, unfortunately I have a hand tremor so accidents happen. Regards.
