Darn PCGS and their Finger Prints.

Why did they have to do this ? Son of a gun. 
Just bought this coin because it had the most dramatic finger print I have seen on a slabbed Merc. Great Eye Appeal, huh.

Not at all. It looks like some collector with greasy chicken wing fingers got to it first. Tone like that does not appear overnight.

What did it grade?
Did you get a discount?

Its a 16P that has a grade of 63FB. No discount because it was in the weekly Heritage Internet sale. Actually they put a reserve on the thing so I had to pay a few bucks more than I wanted. The obverse is dark also but it has no finger print. I liked it in a twisted way also. I guess it almost the same as the folks that collect PO-1 stuff.
