I've recently acquired some mint sewn bags various dates and mint marks... Does anyone know if its possible to find the pennies in the bag with fingerprint marks on them? I have found a few this way. The bag in question is from the 1960's.

Yes you can find brand new cents in mint sewn bags with fingerprints on them.

I stopped buying old sealed mint bags. Everyone I purchased were tossed around over the years. The coins had little micro bag marks to the point they would never grade above MS62. I sent a few into PCGS and that MS62 is all I got. As for finger prints, probably rare for coins in mint bags but you have to assume somebody at the mint would pull some coins for quality assurance. I'm more amazed that I find finger prints from coins I cut from mint sets.
