I don't see any uniform or other indication of physical abrasive cleaning, I agree dipped. The surface looks like it has some sort of residue almost oil like that you'd find on a old tool in the bottom of a tool box.
i agree with most everyone here that the coin was dipped into something long enough to alter the surfaces. in any case it would receive a details designation
uhm... what's whizzing? That's not like cleaning a really dirty coin with a soft toothbrush is it? I do that on my really cruddy finds, usually in old houses that I am getting ready for new flooring...
