2009 Lincoln....No white gloves here

SO much for the theory (mine) that Mint employees were gloves when handling coins

From a LP2 Mint wrapped roll exactly as I found it (not a DDR!)

Enough points for a CSI ID on this one....if it wasn't for the DIRT embedded in the print

    Forget whose print it is, what brown stuff did (s)he touch before stuffing that cent in a roll?



    Petri dish anyone?

    I agree. I thought they had a sign in the bathroom that says "All Employees Must Wash Their Hands Before Retuning To Work"

    Surely they do no roll the cents by hand. I imagine they found it on the floor and threw it in the bin. Probably a maintenance person with dirty hands just trying to help.

    Overhauling the machine, grease up to the elbows, finds a cent that fell into the works. Doesn't need to grab it, just touch it with a grease covered finger and it sticks, drop it back in the bin. Done deal, on with maintenance. All would have been well if it had gone to a bank and got sent into circulation like the original mint business plan described...but now we have a short circuit right into the hands of a.................................NUMISMATIST!!!!image

    I would send a letter with that coin to Mr. Moy.... Just for the hell of it, tell him to compare the finger print to the employees that are on file and ask Mr.Moy why Health regulations weren't followed in the case..

    Bottom line this is fraud because the coin was advertised as Mint and is actually AU.image
