It looked normal at first with a great big fingerprint, but as I tilted it the stripes became very colorful. The oils in the fingerprint seem to have turned the surface white.

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 8:50 pm Yes agreed that it is a fingerprint. I guess that I haven't studied their effects enough to know whether this "bleaching" of the tone is normal or not.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/11/2023 04:23 am Give it awhile and the appearense will probably change,but not for the better. To me a coin with FP is a spender unless it is very rare and maybe even then. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 12/11/2023 2:04 pm Absolutely agree with everyone about it being a spender and it soon will be. I just didn't recall a fingerprint changing the contrast so vividly. Usually, it's boring brown. Thanks for taking a peek.
