A light fingerprint shouldn't lower the grading of a circulated coin. Fingerprints discount MS coins more. I originally said XF45 but upped it to AU50 due to the amount of luster present. Wear is the determining factor for circulated coins. Stains, oxidation, fingerprints lower the desirability of a coin but not the grade.
