Coin looks like a Fine at best if not cleaned

I must have gotten lucky with coins from First Coinvestors.  About 15 years ago I bid and won a 100 year 'Connoisseur Edition' commemorative 1878 set on EBAY for $159.  It included an MS61 78S Vam 17a, MS62 78P Rev 78, and an MS63 78CC with this nice album.  It was registered to a William Reeser.  There weren't many bidders on the coins, maybe they had bad memories of First Convestors.  I had never heard of them and this was one off my better buys on EBAY.  

I think there were dark spots under Liberty's chin and by the neck like what's on the rim.  After the dip didn't get it all off, someone rubbed too hard to try and lighten.  Obviously cleaned.
