Anybody got a 2000 SAE Gerald Ford "Limited Edition" left ring finger MS-69 for sale?

Everytime I see a "raw" coin with a fingerprint........ I wonder to myself....... Did this come back from a grading service in a body-bag? or was it a crackout???? You guys got me all shook up over fingerprints now....... Will the day ever come where we will be able to identify the fingerprints in such a way that the fingerprint will become the collectable and the coin merely the "canvas" on which it is displayed??? I can almost envision ex-presidents putting a big fat thumbprint on SAE's, and having them encapsulated in "limited editions"....... not only can I see this, but a full set would consist of TEN SAE's per year..... one from each finger !!!!! Anybody got a 2000 Gerald Ford left ring finger in 69 for sale???

    I flatly refuse to accept any coin with a fingerprint, no matter how slight. Any online seller that fails to disclose a fingerprint on a coin shouldn't be in business. I can't count how many times sellers have sent me OBVIOUSLY fingerprinted coins even after I specifically asked ahead of time if there were any on it. I've even been accused of "cherry picking", but too bad. A fingerprint is completely unacceptable to me & if sellers were up front about it, I wouldn't bother bidding to begin with!

    Welcome to the hobby! Who could accuse someone of cherry picking in a derogotory sense? Everyone is a cherrypicker when they buy... they buy what they like (and might know more than the seller)... anyone using cherrypicker to mean something bad is not thinking too hard...
