1 augmentation dot in A (→FE→EE)

2 dots in FC

No dots in GE

In the main text we keep Chopin's original notation, in which it is only the e1 note that was provided with a dot, in spite of the fact that the entire chord was written on one stem. The copyist of FC added a dot also next to g1, which is a patent mistake and which was probably the reason both dots were removed in GE.
