<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2490961, member: 77413&quot;]I recently acquired a set of Lincolns 1933-1991 in a Dansco album, as I&#039;ve mentioned elsewhere. Now I am taking everything out and putting them in Quadrum 2x2&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I started with the proofs. Now that I am looking closely at them, it seems the original collector has mashed them into the holes with a big fat greasy thumb. [ATTACH=full]527184[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So far I have heard two types of comments about fingerprints. Either they are permanently branded into the surface, or the coin was sent for grading and the TPG said &quot;we saw a fingerprint and took it off for you&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which is it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there anything I can do to restore these half-dozen proofs back to their intended glory? (And yes, I know these are cheap enough to just replace them. But, well, now they&#039;re <i>mine</i> and I would like to fix them if I can.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
