RE: Silver great blue heron coin from Cayman Islands/ Re-blog lottery

That fingerprint won't take away from its melt price-- silver doesn't care-- but it killed whatever numismatic/collector value it had.
With damage done, the value lost won't be restored by cleaning it. Even if the coin looks spotless after fingerprint removal, on closer examination it can be detected that the coin was cleaned. It's best just to keep the coin as-is inside some sort of protector.

Cleaning coins is always a bad idea. It still has some numismatic value just not as much as one without some moron's fingerprint. Silver is silver, it is always going to be worth something! In a couple hundred years this coins will likely be very valuable since only 11,000 were made, but I'll be long dead by then!
