That fingerprint won't take away from its melt price-- silver doesn't care-- but it killed whatever numismatic/collector value it had.

With damage done, the value lost won't be restored by cleaning it. Even if the coin looks spotless after fingerprint removal, on closer examination it can be detected that the coin was cleaned. It's best just to keep the coin as-is inside some sort of protector.
