<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CTMark325, post: 1639644, member: 44498&quot;]Hello,</p><p><br /></p><p>I am new to CoinTalk and coin collecting. I decided to start my collection with silver eagles and I purchased a San Fran mint 2013 (S) Silver Eagle NGC MS70 and noticed it looks very different than my other silver eagles (all NGC MS70). I am most concerned with a mark that is on the sun on the coin that almost looks like a fingerprint. I was hoping some experts at CoinTalk could help me identify if it is a fingerprint or not. I spoke with NGC and they said I would have to pay for shipping if it was NOT a fingerprint (if it was, they would reimburse me and fix the coin). Given the lower cost of the coin, I&#039;m wondering if I should take the risk sending it to NGC and having it not be a fingerprint. Attached are photos (the one looks kind of gold because I was shining a desk lamp on it). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]235820.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]235819.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>Also, there is a weird &quot;ring&quot; looking mark under the Y and T in LIBERTY and a mark near the rim of the coin next to the Y in LIBERTY. The odd thing about this is I found a coin on ebay that has the exact ring and mark as my coin. Why would this happen to more than one coin? My coin is on the left, the one I found on ebay is on the right.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]235821.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]235822.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So, 1) do the top pictures show a fingerprint? If so, what do I do? and 2) Why does my coin have a mark near the Y and a ring under the T and Y like the coin I found on ebay? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks! I&#039;m excited to be a new collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
