Can anyone suggest something for this 1921 Morgan 1 1

[Mr.Bill347]

I bought a 1921 Morgan dollar, based on the dual picture attached. Upon receiving the coin, I discovered a big fat fingerprint right smack on Liberty’s cheek. Any suggestion of what I could try.? TIA

Yes. You could try not messing with it and accepting that the damage is done.

Have you considered returning it to the seller?  They obviously knew there was a fingerprint, but chose to use a photo that misrepresented the appearance.

Yep.

Returning it for a refund is the best option, you could attempt to give it an acetone bath.   However most likely the print is already etched into the coin and if so there is really nothing that can easily be done.

Thanks Guys, I am returning it for a refund.

Only thing that may remove that is soaking in acetone , or dipping it … I would return it to the seller it’s his problem

Possibly flowers and a quiet memorial service....

+ 1.  Cremation might prove umm, resource intensive. Funny, not that many years ago, all ‘21 Morgans were considered junk box coins. You couldn’t sell bulk Morgans at a decent price unless they were all ‘04 and earlier. 
 

1921 Morgans were Pittman Act creations, while 1904 and earlier were destroyed under the Pittman Act.

As my Keynesian Econ professor would say, “don’t buy it”. As my Dad would say (an icon in the photo industry) “never trust photos”. 
 

Both taught me well.

I Did Conder101. I shouldn't have bought it anyway and I paid too much. My Bad.

Hey Bill!  I have been down this road before. Sometimes and might I add, in this COVID time that in hand can be tuff. That’s what makes it hard to buy from pictures. From what I’ve seen you have also made some awesome buys so carry on my friend 👍🏼
