[QUOTE="vintagemintage, post: 26787939, member: 75988"]A very nice Accented Hair specimen. I'm a long time Kennedy Half collector, maybe you can tell by my avatar! Finger skin oil residue can remain on a coin's surface indefinitely, altering the ongoing reaction of surface oxidation over time, in the shape of a fingerprint. Once this appears, it's difficult and likely harmful to remove, especially on a proof. A careful acetone rinse can dissolve and remove harmful contaminants safely, just don't do anything abrasive during the process.[/QUOTE]
