[QUOTE="snip, post: 1134719, member: 29958"]Hey everyone -- first time poster here (and hopefully here to stay, look's like a great forum). I recently purchased a few coins from an online seller. 3 uncirculated mercury dimes (common dates) and an uncirculated morgan dollar that would likely grade out MS63/64 and be worth ~$250. My problem is that the morgan has a fingerprint on the front that was not in the picture and must have happened when the seller was packaging the item. My guess is that he/she was selling the coins on behalf of someone else since the coins were handled improperly and sent in a paper envelope without any protection and allowed to rub with each other. I don't care too much about the mercury dimes but I was planning on sending the morgan to PCGS. My question is: What is the best way to remove the fingerprint without ruining an otherwise great coin? I really appreciate your help![/QUOTE]
