"Golden dollars" of all designs have a delicate window in circulation. Once they are handled they need to keep getting handled until they develop a protective tarnish. After that they're fine.
If they don't get continuous handling at the beginning, then any salts or oils will compromise the surface quickly (and permanently).
I once manually "circulated" a presidential dollar until it developed a tarnished brass color with light highlights on the high points. It was very nice looking.

And now it’s time for Guess The Mintmark! Is it a W? Probably, though we’ll never know.
P.S. @OAKSTAR , last time I posted on this thread, I had no idea that you were actually in jail. I really thought that you changed your profile picture to add bars on purpose! I am sorry for the miscommunication. I imagine that you were rather displeased with me getting a laugh out of that when you saw it.
