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.

    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!

    Sorry, not for me
    I like fingerprints to be on my fingers, not my coins
    To each his own :)

    Nice one, CattyB! A few of my Washies have partial prints. Here’s two:

    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.
