    I bought a presidential dollar that, when I got home, I noticed a big finger print on the back. I took it back to the dealer and he exchanged it no problem. It is my understanding that a fingerprint can sugnificantly detract from a coin's value. My question is, "What does the coin dealer do with it since it has a fingerprint on it?" Thanks.

    Throw it back in his inventory and sell it to someone who doesn't notice. Most dealers sell BU+ examples of these coins for like 1.25-1.50 or so. Finger prints detract from the value of all coins.
