Is that a fingerprint under Miss Liberty's chin?

hard to tell from pics. Might just be bag marks - rim ridges of one coin up against her chin? She sure has a lot of acne....

 

Probably. So?

See https://www.cointalk.com/threads/if-a-coin-has-a-fingerprint-can-it-still-be-uncirculated.225524/. There is a gorgeous MS65 just covered with fingerprints.

 

Wow. Guess I learned *more* than one thing today. Thanks.

 

Looks like a fingerprint from here.

 

It looks like a fingerprint to me.

 

I have seen an MS-65 Red Lincoln cent with a fingerprint on the obverse.

 

No way! Anyone who has seen impressions of the reeding on another Morgan would rule this out completely.

It looks like a fingerprint to me, too!

Quick, call AFIS......

 

I just didn't understand "mint state" or "uncirculated".

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means..."

 

(that was a quote from "The Princess Bride")

 

From PCGS:
Uncirculated
Term to indicate a coin or numismatic item that has never been in circulation, a coin without wear. See “Brilliant Uncirculated,” “Mint State,” and “new.”
Mint State
The term corresponding to the numerical grades MS-60 through MS-70, used to denote a business strike coin that never has been in circulation. A Mint State coin can range from one that is covered with marks (MS-60) to a flawless example (MS-70).

 

Sounds like a 'chic' movie. Rarely watch......

 

It's actually pretty funny. Any movie with Andre the Giant, swordfights, drinking, magicians, torture devices, and poorly-played rodents the size of people can't truly be called a "chic flick".

 

he was fighting in Nam for our freedom.

 

I guess. There is no quit in him.
