When I started grad school in 2003 there were a handful of structures approaching 0.4 nm, which is the point where you might be able to build most of the sequence into the map de novo. But those were exceptional cases.

my favorite report from grad school was the paper that had to be retracted because they "built the sequence into the map backwards" (IE, the N and C termini were switched).

Was that the Great Pentaretraction or something else? My favorite is still the Krishna Murthy structures that turned out to be completely made up.
