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

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.
