FUN purchase and Trueview--Roanoke

I was having this reverse holdered after purchasing it at FUN and they were running a Trueview special so I took advantage of it. This was a coin I always coveted. (cover coin of the 1994 Rothenberger Superior sale catalog). Yes, I know there is a finger print but I figured if it was ok for TDN to look the other way on his recent purchase who I'm I to argue?

Great look. Reverse reminds me of those off-planet Wisconsins that sold last year. Just sweet.

Beautiful coin!

What a fantastic piece MJ... Spectacular color and on a Roanoke to boot! Print what print? I know for a fact it`s not noticeable at all especially with all that beauty going on and is so in-sequential on a coin like that ... Congratulations for a great addition...

I really like this coin.

But that fingerprint got me thinking - how does a fingerprint get on a coin unless the finger makes contact when the surface of the coin is "susceptible?"

Is the oil from the fingertip enough, or does that have to happen sometime during the process of "curation?"

Uh MJ, your coin is on fire!!!!! ......I'm in love!!!!!!!!!

@Coinasourus

Fingerprints contain oils and acids, as such they etch the surface as well as contaminate it. A print will cause surface issues at any stage or age. Cheers, RickO

Great coin. That's not a fingerprint -- it's textile toning!

lordmarcovan · January 31, 2012 9:38AM

Man, from the looks of that thing, you could hang it on the back of your car in an emergency, if your brake lights went out!

Great coin!

The front and back covers of The Rothenberger Collection cat. are eye candy. I like your coins front cover position.

Gorgeous coin. Way to go on the pick up.

I see Ricko posted a reply to the OP. I expected him to mention that the coin is tarnished and would be better if the tarnish was removed. To my surprise he did not even mention it.

Is it possible Ricko has found a toned coin that he actually likes??????????
