Got this Wheat cent recently from ebay for about $17. Unfortunately it has significant fingerprinting on it.

I see some light rub on the hair and cheek. Puts me at AU58.

Took bad about the fingerprints. Definitely distracting to the overall eye appeal.

i agree with AU58 and that the fingerprints are a little distracting but they do not affect grade only coins value.

Nothing I hate more than fingerprints, dang. Coin looks to be missing luster, worn more than 58 IMO.

AU-55

I was going to say 58 - would the fingerprint drop it to 55?
