I wonder if there is a fingerprint on that coin now.

Apperently the reference is to fingerprints. I cringed when I saw the photo.

I lifted the photo from this guy's eBay listing

So, not only is he listing a Morgan in the colonial section, hes also pawing the thing with fingers that I imagine have just finished fishing the last greasy remnants out of a bag of Cheese Doodles.

I believe it is always better to put the print on the coin yourself. That way you can select the position for best look. Those guys at PCGS have no standards when they print the coin.

I think even a ziplock bag might have helped!

no one has even mentioned the strong possibility that the coin has been played with

polished fields or mirror applied

it is terrible to pay big bucks for a bodybag

At least you don't have to worry who put the finger print on it after you send it to get it slabbed.

It's an 1880-S. Not much incentive to screw with a coin that's pretty common with prooflike fields.

The stamps are more collectible than the coin!
