<p>[QUOTE="robertk310, post: 2086680, member: 73716"]I have 2 Sacagawea coins and both have what looks like fingerprints somehow pressed into them. The first one and with really prominent fingerprints across half of the obverse is a 2000 D with a golden eagle on the reverse. The reverse side is showing some rainbow toning. The 2nd coin has the date, e pluribus unim and 13 stars stricken on the edge of the coin and if the obverse is facing up (Sacagawea heads up) the date and wording is upsidedown. To read the stricking around the edge, you'd have to have the reverse of the coin facing up. Also, on this coin you can see a slight fingerprint mark to the right of Sacagawea's chin. Are these errors and are either of these coins worth anything other than face value? Are there more coins out there with fingerprints on them and was this done when they were minted or are the fingerprints considered post mint? Let me know what you guys think. Thanks again in advance for your expert feedback![ATTACH=full]389816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389823[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389824[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389825[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]389826[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
