Existing records of visual observations of variable stars date back centuries. The largest database of visual variable star observations is the AAVSO International Database with over 11 million visual observations, which for some stars dates back to 1845. The AAVSO receives thousands of requests for this data from the astronomical community per year. We show early results of a project to assign a precision to variable star estimates based on properties such as the star's color index, time resolution, lunar phase, etc.
