Anyone?

 

it very well may be a finger print could we see full images of the coin so i can tell for sure?

 

It has the look but a full image would be cool.

 

If it is a fingerprint you now have a coin with a fingerprint on it . Try and find one without one.

 

The spacing between lines looks a bit big for a finger print to me, but a full picture is necessary.

 

Never said I owned it

Does it matter whether it's a fingerprint or some other type of toning?

 

I dont know about you, but I don't like fingerprints on my coins, so yes it does....

 

Right Hand Thumb print.

 

What about this one?

I don't like them but sometimes they might be overlooked depending on the coin.
I was just curious that if you were told it isn't a fingerprint that you would find the look of the coin acceptable.

 

I would say no. The changes in the luster seem to be indifferent to the feature, such as a raised detail or a protected area of the field. IMO.

 

No for both?

 

I am answering the question on the original coin. I can not see the 2nd coin well enough, even on the hosting site to state a strong opinion, but I would be surprised if it was either.
