This photo from a German seller pains me.
Anyone got a 2007 silver britannia with a shot at PCGS/NGC MS69?

Oh, the humanity!!!
I thought this thread was about injured Britannias.
Mine's a little injured, and brought two of her crippled silver cousins along.
oh the horror.........
(I don't know why crappy damaged britannias interest me so much - but they do.)

Looks like it was part of a "Pocket Coin for a Day" project, or he let one the young'ns take it to school for show and tell.

<< <i>Out of curosity is there anyway to remove finger prints? >>
I was just now planning to ask the same question, but since you already did so, I will add to your question.
If the fingerprint oils have not already reacted with the metal, would an acetone dip followed by a pure alcohol wash remove the prints?
And if the oils have reacted with the metal, in this case the silver, what would be a visual indicator?
My presumption could easily be wrong.
I am much less likely to use acetone to rinse a coin, as it is toxic enough already to breathe the fumes, so I dip in acetone in a covered glass container overnight, then I remove the coin and use 100% alcohol to rinse the coin afterwards. If I use 70% or 90% alcohol, (as sold in grocery stores), it leaves a powdery residue, but pure alcohol completely evaporates just as acetone does, and hopefully the use of it in a rinsing fashion takes away any other residue that the acetone dip has "loosened", but perhaps still remains.
Maybe the alcohol rinse is not necessary, but I'd like to be certain, and I don't want to use acetone as a rinse.
