What’s going on with the surfaces on this Peace dollar?

Saw this coin at Harlan Berk. What’s the explanation for the look of Liberty’s cheek and the front edge of the wing? Toning?
Thanks for your opinion

Toning, staining - whatever you prefer to call it. The coin doesn’t look particularly unusual to me.

Looks like wear, PMD, stain..... No numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO
Somewhat surprised that this look still got a 64

I would hold off for one with a better strike. This one has very little hair and wing detail.
Collector, occasional seller
Some of the roughness on the high points might be stuff on the planchet that wasn't effaced during striking.
Scuffed up pretty good, not sure about the 64.
This. The 1921 Peace dollars are notorious for being weakly struck on the high spots. Unstruck areas by definition show the original surface of the planchet.
Not a cac coin. Should sell at some type of discount to Greysheet.
Unstruck areas on the high points would explain the look - as well as the grade. Thanks !
No that is not planchet roughness mid-neck , crown and high cheek.
Toning. I like it.
