[QUOTE="sambyrd44, post: 2180201, member: 26653"]I can say (in my opinion) I have seen a point lower for fingerprints that were not too ugly. The older the coin the less it seems to matter though. Market acceptable like toning is a factor ugly and/or unattractive prints matter to the graders the most I think. The coin below has this area , old fingerprint : [URL='http://s858.photobucket.com/user/paulda1/media/58.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/ab149/paulda1/58.jpg[/IMG][/URL] mint set toner and the NGC grade is MS64 it could 65 without the print. I like it as a 64 and even don't mind the print it has a cool look I like.
