That is a finger print, just a little smear with it.

Smeared fingerprint. Too bad. Thats great looking reverse!

That is one beautiful dime!! Looks like a partial print to me too. And may I add----I love your pics

Thanks..silver is tough!! So does the print negate the toning and make it no more desirable that a typical MS66 with little or no toning?

It makes it less desirable. It's huge and in a prime focal area.

I guess I return it ...I have it on approval. Do you agree??? It's just so damn pretty.

Sorry but it would be less desirable.
Still a nice coin at the right price.

OK, It's flawed but that reverse is outstanding - great eye appeal. Let's keep in mind that this coin is over 100 years old.

If you like it, keep it. But prints always limit the grade and are always negative. Unless textile toned.

Thanks all. I am thinking about whether to keep it. I've obviously removed the pic in case I return it...
