Does this annoy you as much as it does me?

  I cannot see your link at work, but I have seen several images where the seller is "pawing" at the coin in their images, which is very distracting and sometime, sickening. Some people.

  Doesn't bother me at all. I always do a acetone rinse on all coins I've received. This
  
  eliminates those dreaded fingerprint and oily hands problems from previous owners.
  
  
  
  At least it has worked for me, so far.

  ps: Is this an example of buy the coin not the holder??? (pun intended)

  That was a good pun.
  
  Yes, it bugs me, too.
  
  That looks like a lovely original piece....now likely graced with future prints. Oh well.

  If the coin isn't mine, I don't care.

  Acetone will fix it right up. The seller has sold other graded Commems, making me very suspicious of the quality of those that are being sold as original. Why wouldn't he at least try for a great grade fist, and if they didn't, simply crack out and sell like this?

  Knowing that the coin's been finger marked, acetone will get the oils off unless they've been drying a very long time. It should clean up. That wouldn't prevent me from buying if I were in the market.
  
  
  
  

  If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

  Actually, this will only help when done promptly.... the acids in skin oils will etch the surface of a coin making the print virtually permanent. Cheers, RickO
