    That coin has awesome luster and no marks! What a bummer about the print.

    I like the coin. The print doesn't bother me that much. Of course, $170 is a pretty expensive meal, even for hetman or Mac.

    The Mouse is well-heeled and I'm sure he wouldn't flinch at dropping that kind of money on the right coin. On the other hand, he demands absolute perfection and fingerprints (or mouseprints) don't cut it. I dont' know about that Hetman character though; he seems rather flighty.

    Is that the free fingerprint that PCGS gives out every 100 or so coins slabbed?

    I don't think the fingerprint is that distracting since it is on the reverse, but the price should definitely reflect the fact that the coin has the fingerprint (I don't think a $170 start price does that...).
