Looking at this coin I have I thought it was Struck Through Grease, but after referencing this post(link in post) it appears maybe not, yet the pattern on both of them are so similar. Any input on whether this is Struck Through Grease? Sorry is image quality is not good, I am trying to figure this out how to adjust size of picture losing so much quality. Thanks so much! http://goccf.com/t/427699.   |

Not a Greaser. Kinda looks like a big fingerprint. It is a stain of some sort. John1  |

Image quality is fine, but I agree that this is surface staining of some sort. It does look kinda neat though and the cost of ownership is only a cent.

Not struck through. Likely a pattern transfer from something the coin came in contact with. Possible finger print--a rather large one, yes.

It's a large fingerprint. It's a spender.
Errers and Varietys.

For those who do not know, a finger print will stay on a coin forever unless you clean it with acetone as soon possible. Acetone will not harm coins however, do not wipe or rub on coins, only rinse with water and pat dry. Wear proper gloves when you handle coins. That is probably what happened to this coin, it was new and shinny until someone handled it improperly.

Nobody is wearing gloves. Good explanation, I guess but not realistic. As for acetone, as far as I have found over the years, it does not remove a fingerprint, may help but it will still be there and when using acetone, you should rinse with distilled water. -makecents-

makecents; If you came across a new shinny coin and put your fingerprint on it then realized you should save it, what would you do to try to keep the coin shinny?

You should rinse with clean acetone not any type of water and let air dry. John1 |

Distilled water is fine. That's one of the trilogy. Acetone, distilled water, and Verdi Care.

 The coin cleaning experiments I have done.. Pure acetone soak & rinse and a final Distilled Waterrinse has worked the best for me. Do not use tap water. Sometimes acetone bath, left on coin, without a rinse, seemed to leave a residue. |
