    Yep! Hey, you could have the cops run that fingerprint through AFIS and identify the mint employee who handled that Ike! It was probably Boris "Thumbs" Johnson. He was known to eat greasy fried chicken wings on his break while handling the coins without gloves. ;)
    That's a pretty nice quality NP quarter, compared with the very few W-mints I've seen in person. Looks MS65-ish to me. Most I've seen were more 62-63-ish looking.

    I'm going to allow this entry post I received on the CollectiveCoin site where the images are hosted, even though it was not made here and does not fully comply with the rules of the contest here.

    ("Btrfly30" on CollectiveCoin might not have a CoinTalk membership.)

    This is his/her entry post. I have gotten a few on that site (only one or two) and will allow them here, since it is sometimes kind of hard for folks there to find the contest threads over here.

    (The choice of words is rather interesting, however- "Entry Post" might indicate that this person has indeed seen the contests here. Eh, whatever. I'll let this one slide.)

    Since the comment was posted on the photo page for @Randy Abercrombie's Prize #6, we'll assume that this is "Btrfly30" 's prize preference.

    Entry post.

    The generosity in this group is mind boggling.
    I just celebrated my 10 year work anniversary with my employers, a married couple about my age (early and mid 50s), whom I try to find a unique Christmas gift for on my meager salary. The building they own and have slowly restored over the last 13 years was build in 1888, and I was wondering, what should I expect to pay for a "cleaned" raw 1888 Morgan?
    They would probably display it with some of the other gifts I've given them over the years, including some turn of the century picture postcards, a book published in 1888 in Louisville with the original lyrics to My Old Kentucky Home, and some restored prism glass that was in the original transom windows of the building that I placed in a shadow box with a copy of the 1886 patent application (it was made to direct light further back into the building, to save on the cost of lighting *fuel, candles, electricity*)...

    1, 4, 7, 2, 9, 6, 8, 10, 11, 5, 12.

    @lordmarcovan Thanks, I screwed up while posting and got a disturbing phone call that distracted me and didn't remember until it was too late to edit.

    I am not real sure yet. I am curious if the coin will deteriorate faster where it is darker. When your looking at the coin it looks like another face. Conversation piece
