<p>[QUOTE="chrisbauman, post: 286048, member: 9097"]<b>Brian73, I have some questions</b></p><p><br /></p><p>1) Did the fingerprints look like they were etched into the surface before you sent them in?? I experimented with some modern unc coins that I bought at the bank about 8 weeks ago and placed fingerprints on them. Well about 6 weeks later I tries various remedies to try and remove them and although I was able to get most of the prints off they still had little specs which basically are a telltale sign that a fingerprint was there, so although they removed most off the print it really didn't completely remove the whole prints. I tried vinegar and had the most luck, but the rubbing let fine line sratches. I tried olive ol and once again got most of the print off, but still had these little specks which seem to never come off. I guess I was wondering if your coins you got back from NCS had these little specs on them or are they completey free of any sign that a fingerprint was there?? Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
