So what to you all think about the print on this coin. I don"t know if it bothers me that much. What's your opinions? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160323445143&_trksid=p2759.l1259
Too bad about that fingerprint....it definately bothers me. Sort of like finding a hair in your salad.....
To bad it's in a slab. Or you could add another finger print next to that one to start a trend. Then some day in the future there would be a history of all those that handled that coin. Might not be a finger print you know on the coin. Might be on the slab. Even on the inside of the slab. Anything is possible.
It's definitely on the coin. Fingerprints on silver coins have a distinct look. It is whitish and looks thicker than a fingerprint on the slab would be.
It bothers me...especially on a common coin. There is no way I would buy that coin when I could find one a nice MS example inexpensively without the fingerprint.
It looks like it is starting to tone maybe the print would not be so visible if it tones well but the print does distract from the coin. Ice
I'm not 100% sure if I will bid on this one, but one thing I will say they may have minted a few million 22-S's but one with an above average strike and luster like that one, not so common. I've been after peace dollars for some time now and don't be fooled PQ ones don't come around everyday like Morgans do. It's too bad this one has a finger print on it, maybe that's why the grade of 63. I'll let you all know if I bid, but odds are I'll wait till I find a better one.
I'd bid on it...It might jsut be the flash, but it has the luster of a 64+ If you want to wait, go ahead, but I'd bid.
