Trying to think of a reason why a mint worker would've grabbed my coin before it went in the cello Did my coin fall on the floor lol? Did the mint worker have mayo on his fingers from the sandwich he was eating next to the coins? So many questions... Here it is moved around in there...
Probably got their prints on a larger number of coins than just one. When the coins are minted they drop into a large bin and I’ve seen a mint employee reach in the bin and move the coins around.
Leave it in the package. The coin is not worth much without the problems. It is more interesting and worth more to some folks as is. I'd rather have that one than one w/o the prints and spots. See, all kinds of people collect coins.
