This one is odd. Very, very odd. This coin came from a freshly crack mint roll, acquired from a very reputable source, and this coin was in the middle of the roll. At first glance, I thought, 'oh, nice grade but it has a fingerprint'. Being a pure nickel coin, I tried a number of methods to remove the fingerprint, but upon close inspection, I realized that this fingerprint was not going to come off - ever. It was not toning from oils from the finger... the surface texture of the coin was not smooth inside the print, it was rough with brilliant surfaces in between. The reverse of this coin is perfectly fine. I suspect that this was a greasy fingerprint on the die, then it struck a coin... oddest strikethrough I have ever seen... :scratch: Your thoughts??
