I am not sure what you are referring to that sold for a million dollars, there are a couple dozen bronze 43s and steel 44s known and the top auction price has been about $220,000 with most well under $100,000. An off metal error for the 2009/2010 coins will be made even more unlikely by the fact that business strikes and Mint Set coins no longer share the same production lines. It would also be virtually impossible to have Birthplace and Formative Years off-metal errors because their production ended before the tarnish issues were worked out and Mint Set production began.

Regarding spotting issues, the black watery spots that you typically see on AU/Unc coins are caused by the mint's planchet rinse and not environmental issues. I got rolls at the LP3 and Shield release ceremonies and even those coins had spots but I have noticed that spotting issues for 2010 have been better than in the past and certainly better than some of the LP3 dogs that I had.

Is there any chance of getting rid of those spots with something?

I lucked out with a 2RB from the mint with no spots great looking coins. But when I bought a few rolls from MintProducts.com they were dalmation all the way through. Just for giggles I tried to wash them off with Distilled Water but that didnt work. And then some watered down katchup Its a great cleaner for cents but they come out pink. And I cant stand PINK. Cant bring myself to use an eraser on one. Its fun to play for fun As long as no one pays for fun when they play. Ya know.

I get them from work and I have been slowly acquiring them. I just completed a full box of them last night.
