    :o That would be an immediate pass for me. Fingerprints etch rather quickly, especially on proof or proof-like surfaces. Cheers, RickO

    IDK. Maybe the turquoise fingernails are a hint.

    Collector and dealer in obsolete currency. Always buying all obsolete bank notes and scrip.

    Less likely to drop the coin with a grip like that? Maybe she just wants to leave her mark? Maybe she has stock in the acetone plant?

    I have to say I've never seen a coin displayed like this on the Heritage or StacksBowers websites. Time for you to find some new sellers.

    I'm assuming the above is to blame for this... unfortunately this is the only problem I can identify on this coin. Oh well moving on.

    I would say these coins probably are old coins, may be cleaned already, and the surface does not matter anymore.
    Actually, the 2 coins look like medals.

    @Samuel8
    Yes, these are all medals and tokens. Some are pretty interesting. Shame they are in the possession of someone who hasn't been taught to care for them properly.
