Which clearly have fingerprints on them yet are still slabbed?
Some even have green beanies on them.

Fingerprints do not preclude numerical grades.

Gotcha... but they sure do hurt the aesthetics--at least in my eyes!

In many cases most everyone will agree with you. I especially dislike them on franklins.

Well if we all had the same eyes for coins, there'd be no diversity in collecting - everyone would want what somebody else already has and isn't willing to part with.
Some can look past fingerprints on a coin, and I'm sure some even find them attractive.
Personally, I'm with you - I don't like 'em... But like stealer said, they typically don't affect a coin's grade. An exception would be a fingerprint that corroded the metal or created verdigris (on Copper).

So I'm not the only one who's pondered this......

Founding fathers used Morgans?

Does your brain ever sleep?
I found picked this one up a while back and absolutely love it.
<< <i>And why is it the most of them only seem to tone on one side? >>
For the most part the Morgans that are toned primarily on one side either toned in an issued mint bag or in the end of a paper roll... It was the direct contact with the cloth of the bag or the direct contact with the folded paper at the end of the roll that caused the toning...
