I agree, leave it be. Dipping will remove luster along with the fingerprints.

A dip can remove fresh fingerprints that are toned into a coin, but after the dip, some toned coins will show a trace of the fingerprints. The toning on the example is not heavy, therefore, there is a chance it could remove the toning and the fingerprints. After the dip the coin will retone faster, and it could be ugly toning. I have dipped 6 or 7 silver coins to remove toned fingerprints and a couple still showed a trace of the fingerprints.
If I was going to purchase the coin, I would not dip to remove fingerprints.

The areas that appear to be fingerprints is below the jaw and on the cheek. If you dip the coin the black area around the star and above the E may take the top layer of metal off the coin and show up as a white spot. There is also some strange spotting around the date.

I've dipped thousands (yes, thousands) of coins in my time. Fingerprints can, over decades, etch into a silver coin dure to several oxidation factors. I'm a fan of dipping to remove them when at all possible. Usually, they *pop* with no problem or trouble. If it's "inexpensive" enough to warrant a try I'd go for it. Dip-rinse-pat dry. There are 'Purists' who would naysay at the mere mention of dipping, but I'm not a fan of that.

If you want to try dipping, try it on problem Uncirculated coins first that aren't worth a few hundred dollars.

This coin has that fore mentioned print on it, also it looks like a pattern of plastic wrap of some sort was on it after what appears to be a spray of droplets on the surface. (maybe a sneeze)
I would pass on this one if it were my option to buy or not.
