    It looks like a fingerprint to me Ed, but wait for others to chime in before you throw it under the bus.

    I like mint set toning type coins and have been folled by what I thought was a fingerprint and
    was not . This one looks like a fingerprint to me too I was hoping I was wrong. You cant tell from the first pic its a MS66 FBL its a bad picture.

    Looks like it toned after the fingerprint to me, probably a little oil from someone's finger kept that from toning??

    Nice Franklin. I like it. Yes, it has a fingerprint on the reverse but don't let it bother you. I don't think it detracts.

    You have a fingerprint most definitely. It just totally peeves me when I find a fingerprint on a coin. Especially if it is a very nice coin that I am considering to purchase. I will not buy a coin that is fingerprinted. How clumsy and ignorant were the people who have handled these old coins. What were they thinking anyway? I feel that fingerprints on coins are about the most unsightly thing.

    Fingerprints can be tolerable or absolutely unforgivable. Here's a PCGS 65RD that is going back to PCGS today. Such a nice Lincoln, otherwise. But it doesn't deserve its assigned grade.
