Did water spots on coins come from the mint or from use?

I see MS67 Peace dollars with water spots?

Well, with peace dollars it's almost certainly spots that developed due to the poor rinsing the planchets got before striking. So long as they're not too distracting, I wouldn't think it would hinder the grade too much.

Could be from dipping and using tap water to wash off the dip. Tap water is some areas is not very clean.

That is a possibility as well.

Peace $ are well known for these. They are a negative. K
Edit to add on this series they are mint made.
