    Dude...Temple of Doom was NOT a great movie. :(

    Uhhhhh guys, if you want to talk about movies, fine. But take it to General Discussion. This thread is about coins with fingerprints.

    I think the Temple of Doom referred to the fingerprint on the coin--that killed its eye appeal for me.

    Who said it was gem? Gem is 65+, 63 is just a BU

    Hey I didn't bring it up. And apparently you have never seen Big Lebowski. But Doug doesn't want us talking movies... :stop:

    Apparently you don't know the movie as well as I do. *sigh*
    That was a quote from the dude after they throw the ashes and John Goodman gives the Nam speech about men dying before their time "like on hill 364".

    Back to the coin and fingerprint question to stay on topic, I have seen coins with similar marks as that. I believe that particular coin is a fingerprint, but some I have seen turn out to be an effect from the coins surface being pressed against the canvas bag for a period of time. An "element" or mineral/chemical is imprinted onto the surface of the dollar. Because of the bag marks on this coin, I feel that is unlikely. The coins I have seen with this effect have bag marks on the opposing side only.

    I am well aware of that, having collected BU and GEM Morgans for years. It was humor.
