I think that because the coins were handled by people it's considered a part of the minting process
I think they still mark them down
but it doesn't seem to no grade them

[wwwww]

They certainly do factor fingerprints but while a fingerprint will turn a 67 into a 64-65, it probably will have very little effect on a 64.

this is not the best photo as it does not show the attractiveness of the blue toning around the outer edge BUT it does show the impact of a fingerprint.
this morgan is ngc ms65 and price tag of $us1100 +tax !!
these blue/coloured toned coins seem to bring a premium $ yet some collectors prefer "white",to me they seem too bright to be natural

just for those interested my coin cost $us109 inc tax, a souvenir that will not wear away, get eaten or put in a drawer and forgotten
