The title and pictures say it all. At least it isn't a 1909-S VDB!   Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

If I ever submitted it to a TPG for grading, pretty sure that it would not come back with a "Details: cleaned" designation!  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I'd imagine that print goes back a good ways.

My dad acquired it in the early '70s, and it had the print then. So yes, the defilement goes back many years.

Just think, that could actually be Lincoln's fingerprint. Oh, wait. Never mind.

Yep, not much can help this one. It would be better if it were all brown now.

Probably done by a bank teller or the first person who handled the coin . Whoever is Long dead !. Maybe run the prints .could be a famous bank robber or similar . Get the Feds involved! Stuff like this is very common if you see enough coins . This is certainly nothing to lose sleep over .#128483;#128110;#8205;#9794;#65039; |
