I think that it is a nice AU with a couple finger prints and some attractive toning. There is a rub on the high points which makes it an AU-55 or 58.

Not common for that date to have decent color.

I would say it's worth some premium for the color, but not a huge premium because of the fingerprinting.

Liberty is staring at that print, thinking, fee-fi-fo-fum I have to stare at that thumb (print).
This is true.
I can't recall seeing a 1899 with outstanding color.
I'm not convinced that it has any "rub".
Pictures with higher resolution are needed.
It looks like it might grade as high as MS-63.
Nice, I like it !!!
I would pass... Fingerprints on the obverse, focal area, just spoil a coin for me. Cheers, RickO
