If so by how much, what grade with and without the stains?   |

It's a damaged coin.
The damage does not reduce the grade, it renders it ungradeable.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

"ungradeable" now that's interesting, I thought it would maybe get a lower grade.

The portrait-side stains leave it very close to a "details" coin, imo.

If the staining has damaged to coin, yes, the value will be lower.

Doubled forehead, nose, chin, throat ? Grade-wise, probably MS-60-61. Value With the stains - 2 cents. With the stains and doubling - 2 cents. Without the stains - I want to say 2 cents since there are millions of 1974 cents in people's stashes that are much better. Without the stains and with doubling - mmm..uuuh.. maybe, on a good day, in a good place mmmm.... 25 cents. I've sold low value coins such as this (better looking) on ebay for 20 years (wait, that's tried to sell) for as little as 25 cents and they DO NOT SELL, even with 25 cents combined shipping. Simply, it's a keeper. If it was the first I found, I would have kept it until I found a better one, just to have one. I was keeping every stupid little error I came across in the last 50 years. Too many, TOO MANY  . I was sure they would make me rich when I retired - wrong  . Don't believe the coin value lists about these kind of errors - if it's not a beautiful coin, it won't sell. Remember, crazy collectors like me have been pulling these from circulation since they were new 46 years ago. Edited by TerryT

You can also see that on the reverse of your coin, it was a struck by a hammer die nearing the end of its life, excessive polishing has resulted in "filling" the deepest recesses of the leaves (highest points inside the devices on the die have been polished die a bit)... this is a common phenomena seen on coins from 1962 right through to 1979.

The staining is not corrosion (well, not like a green or black spot). Some of those are almost perfect, but suffer from eye-appeal, so MS-66 is really hard to get from PCGS for those years.
