<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sholom, post: 604723, member: 17753&quot;]I went to the US Mint store in DC, and they have a change machine, where you can put in a $1 or a $5 and get the equivalent amount in Guam quarters (or whatever the current quarter is).&nbsp; (They also have machines for the 2009 Sac and 2009 Tyler (of whatever the current Prez release is).</p><p><br /></p><p>The Guam quarters I got were all tarnished in some way -- some with big fat ugly fingerprints, and others who looked like somebody spilled some coffee on it.&nbsp; I have here 70 2009-P quarters, and maybe four of them are BU (!!).&nbsp; I spoke to the people there, they said they&#039;ve heard that complaint.&nbsp; And then one nice lady behind the counter offered to grab them *directly* from a mint bag (!) and hand them to me.&nbsp; I gave her the 66 non-BU quarters, and she counted out 66 from the mint bag.&nbsp; I just took a look at them: same thing!&nbsp; What the heck?!&nbsp; Fingerprints or tarnish-looking stuff on coins from a Mint bag?&nbsp; Is that normal?</p><p><br /></p><p>In any event . . . . can I &quot;clean&quot; these?&nbsp; These are brand new MS Unc coins, but with ugly fingerprints and other stuff on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
