Message:: [QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1274382, member: 23626"]Hey guys, I just bought a "lot" of proof sets. Various years, all clad. They seem to be culls. I mean a couple of the sets are OK, but the rest have problems and most likely something I will need to break apart at some point. The question I have is, one set has a perfect fingerprint on the obverse of the cent. Otherwise it's pristine. It looks to me as if a mint worker pressed the coin into the casing with a bare finger. I mean that's the only flaw I can see outside a few scratches on the case of course. but I was under the impression that proof coins had special handling and the mint workers wore gloves ? I guess we know differently now. lol What should I do with it ? I mean, label it as a "mint error" and use it for a conversation piece ? Toss it ? Honestly, I have never ever gotten another set messed up like that. Thanks,gary[/QUOTE]
