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.

    Nice; and the reverse is particularly spectacular!

    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.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
