<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisbauman, post: 285489, member: 9097&quot;]Does anyone know how long a fingerprint needs to set into a coin before it becomes etched into the surface??&nbsp;&nbsp; I plan on sending 6 coins with fingerprints on them to NCS and from what I read they do remove fingerprints if they havn&#039;t already been etched into the surface.&nbsp; &nbsp; Yes, I know that you can remove a fingerprint within a few days of its arrival if you use acetone, but after that I realize it is impossible to do unless you use some sort of cleaning and I don&#039;t want to take any chances by cleaning and I would rather just pay NCS $15 a coin to do this for me so I don&#039;t screw the coins up, but since it takes about 4 to 6 weeks I woudl like to know if it is even worth my time to send them in if the fingerprints are already etched into the surface and they are destined to come back to me anyways with a response that there is nothing they can do because of the severity of the prints.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is probably a tough question, but once again does it take years for a fingerprint to become etched into a surface or just months?????&nbsp; &nbsp; Has anyone ever sent a coin to NCS for fingerprint removal and if so how long were the prints on the coin???&nbsp; Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
