Hi, I have a coin that I would like to get graded. In my opinion it is MS66 however there is a very small finger print noticable with the naked eye on a part of the field.
If get get this coin graded by ICCS do you think the small finger print will drastically lower the grade?
Thanks

Likely, yes... those oils will wreck the finish eventually.

Oh yes, most probably but weather it will drastically lower the grade remains to be seen.
But haveing said that even if it does get a good grade could you one day sell it for that graded price, I mean put yourself in another collectors shoes would you buy it if you could see a finger print, I would in all likelyhood think twice about it even if it was third party graded.
Just my own thoughts mind you.
