<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1186292, member: 30400&quot;]Oh my. I&#039;ve never seen so many fingerprints on one coin. I guess that makes it kind of special. Different, anyway. It&#039;s interesting that NGC said &quot;obv improperly cleaned&quot;, focusing their criticism on one side, not both. Which leads me to believe it&#039;s all about the fingerprints and attempts to minimize them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you enjoy its appearance you should do no more. Don&#039;t spend any more money on it. Don&#039;t mess with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it were mine I would start with a pure acetone bath to see if that helps. I doubt it, but it never hurts. Then I would move on to Ez-est for a quick or diluted dip.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d then have a mostly white coin, lifeless and void of luster. Just a hunch. Some ugly stains would remain. (NGC would still bag it for improper cleaning but I wouldn&#039;t submit it -- grading it is a waste of money).</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, I would be pretty unhappy with the entire experience and would dump it for melt and write off the loss as tuition.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
