<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverhouse, post: 1130758, member: 29452&quot;]I have a wheatie with what looks like a fingerprint also.&nbsp; I know that there is a way to lift the fingerprint, carbon dating?&nbsp; I just recently saw a new technique where they pulled fingerprints from old shell casings using new technology.&nbsp; The exact procedure escapes me but it involves having the left over acidic properies left on the copper from when it was touched. This allows the fingerprint to be seen and lifted, I am guessing the same thing happened here but naturally.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The print looks engrained IN the metal, you can&#039;t wipe it off. Lord knows I tried on mine. So that is my guess as to what it is.&nbsp; I also received a 2010 kennedy half set.&nbsp; On the S Mint Proof, there is a fingerprint!&nbsp; I can&#039;t get the capusle off to attempt to wipe it off, or examine it any closer.&nbsp; UNCIRCULATED my A&amp;!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I blame a certain home shopping network on that one. (My mistake)&nbsp; Don&#039;t any of these so called professionals wear white gloves when breaking apart these sets?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
