I know there's varying levels of noticability, but a current auction I was viewing has a coin with a blatant print accross the obverse and it is not mentioned in the description. As a kicker, it is beaned as well. Just curious as to people's thoughts/opinions.

IMO, not all finger prints are bad....just 99%.
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

Buy the coin, not the bean.
See above post. Buy the coin - not the hype or lack of it in an auction description. Sometimes the description omits that which can be wonderful...

Bidders need to take steps to protect themselves: do not place absolute faith in lot descriptions (even pedigrees are not always accurate), or on images. This also applies to items in on-line dealer inventories.
Only bid on lots that you have inspected or have passed muster with someone who has seen them in hand and whom you trust.
