BTW Commem, Finger Print? or not?

Browsing auctions and thought this might look nice in hand. But I can't tell if that is a big fingerprint on his head or just part of the toning pattern. What do you think?

    A few prints I'd say.

    I think it's definitely fingerprinted. You can see it on his head, and in the upper and lower left fields.




    I have some coins that are fingerprinted, but not unattractive to me. I choose to think of them as "unusual toning patterns"

    Yea, looks like prints to me too. Somewhat surprised as it is holdered as a PCGS 66. The prints look like they have been around awhile so I was somewhat surprised it found its way into the holder. It's in the B&M Kingswood Internet Auction. Sure wish I could see it in hand to get a closer look. Since I can't I guess I'll pass.

    Thanks for the confirmation.
