<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 131734, member: 112"]Yes, almost the entire surface of the item is covered with them. They are literally everywhere. But the areas you circled do have the bubble pock marks. They come from air bubbles being trapped in the molten metal when it is poured into the cast - and when a bubble near the surface pops it leaves those little indentations because the metal is cooling and getting hard faster than it can flow in to fill the indentation.</p><p><br /></p><p>And this is true of most all cast copies, not just this type of coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
