Too much flashback to get a good feel of the surfaces here.

I'm not aware of a "mint error" that can make a coin look like that, so I would assume it's post-mint damage. I can't tell if the "dots" are corrosion pits, or just stains. They look more like corrosion pits to me.

Agree damage, but am unsure if mechanical or chemical in nature.

Could be sneeze droplets, or left over fingerprint marks on the coin. Not a desirable coin as they were often spent as quarters, when they are really dollars. (reeds on the edge added to the confusion. Thus the replacement dollars were a different color and non reed edges. Just a spender.

"Them dots" are nothing more than post mint damage, nothing done at the mint would cause this.
