<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1705693, member: 112&quot;]I understand your thinking, but once a fingerprint has been on a coin for more than a few days - the damage already is permanent.</p><p><br /></p><p>And at that point the print can only be removed by using an acid dip that literally removes the metal to a point beyond that of the etching into the metal caused by the fingerprint.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if you remove that much metal then in most cases you will have made your problem worse than it was before. You will in all probability have taken a gradeable coin (coins with fingerprints are gradeable) and turned it into an ungradeable coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>edit - and spock, no it doesn&#039;t bother me at all. First of all I try very hard to not make mistakes, be wrong, when I post something. But I am far from perfect, nobody is, and I do make mistakes. And when that happens, almost inevitably somebody will be sure to point it out. They seem to take great joy in doing that.</p><p><br /></p><p>But ya know what ? So do I. I take great joy in having somebody, anybody, show me that I was wrong about something. And I do that because all I care about is people having the right information. So if I make a mistake, please point it out. And I will be the first one to step up and say thank you for that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
