I have a 1931s lincoln with a darn fingerprint on it. It's MS in my opinion. How does the print affect the actual grade of the coin? Will is be bodybagged if I send it in? Will it be noted as damaged? wish I knew how to take pic's on my coins I'd love to show you all some of my favorites.
Fingerprints generally don't bodybag the coin unless they have eaten into the surface. However, generally they will net down the coin due to decreased eye-appeal. But really, it depends on the coin and the fingerprint...Mike p.s. if you are interested in learning more about coin photography, check out this site: http://coinimaging.com/ Mark also has a book coming out soon, and I suspect it will be very good..
