I await your derision. Bring it! 
And yes I paid a premium to own it. Haha!
Here's my new piece for my colorful Washington quarter registry set. Hope you enjoy (?) and post a fingerprinted coin you care to own if you dare.

It really doesn't bother me.
It is still a monster! Such magnificent toning.

Great toning, especially those reverse colors. I don’t blame you for the pickup.

Very nice. I don’t find the finger print detracting.
Not nearly as bad as I thought it might be prior to opening the thread. If you want to see fingerprinted coins then take a close look at many of the double mint sets from 1947-1958. I think the folks the US Mint hired to place the coins into the holes had enormous thumbs!

Nice; and the reverse is particularly spectacular!
Can I join the party?

Sorry, not for me
I like fingerprints to be on my fingers, not my coins

Nice one, CattyB! A few of my Washies have partial prints. Here’s two:
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
I dislike the thumb print but I've resolved to accept it with equanimity
Commems and Early Type
This one was the inspiration for my ebay handle - Fingergems.
I didn't see this print until after the coin arrived...
I'm curious what the relationship between fingerprints and awesome toning is, because man some of those are gorgeous. Here's my fingerprint contribution.
Nice toning on the reverse. I've never been a fan of fingerprints on my coins. To each his own.

Though I don't like fingerprints; they're not the end of the world. I ALMOST bought this CAC Seated dollar with a fingerprint (seen below). It had nice originality. I ended up passing for another CAC coin of the same MM/date that I liked a little better. In retrospect, it wouldn't have been bad to own that coin. I like yours, too. The supreme color more than makes up for it. Enjoy!

Not too bad imo, I think I'd like it holdered with reverse facing forward!
Here's my 1937 "finger print" Proof quarter. I probably should not have bought this one. The fact that it had not been dipped influenced my decision. This one is in a PCGS PR-65 holder, which kept the price within reason. I wanted to assemble "a respectable collector grade" set of Proof sets from 1936 to 1942.
