[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 26564024, member: 74863"]I think the coin was cleaned long ago, not harshly but cleaned nevertheless, and was dipped sometime afterwards. The spots in my opinion, would be from an improper rinse. It is retoning fairly nicely. As I’m sure you are aware this is a Variety 1, no stars on the obverse and no drapery at the elbow. It was only minted that way at the Philadelphia mint in that year. There is a large and small date variety and just over 1.4 million were minted. A second though on the white spots of missing toning could be that the coin was within the vicinity of someone that sneezed and it won’t tone in that area.
