Looking at the colors it does make me think 60's. At least thats what I hear , the coin is from my birth year.
As far as the circles my uneducated guess would be something such as oil droplets were on the coin whare their is no toning preventing the sulfurs from acting on those areas.

First thing I think is environmental damage...while it's for some people, toning like that isn't for me.
