Explanation-Wanted-Re:coin-Surfaces

This 1913T1 Buffalo graded PCGS MS66 With CAC endorsement has an almost pitted surface in the field directly below buffalo, as if the dies were rusted. Not smooth surfaces. Also the smoothness of the surface directly beneath "STATES OF AMHEICA" appears irregular. Info and comments appreciated!

I see a lot of flow marks which is a sign of Die Deterioration.

Agree--I'm thinking Die Deterioration is in-play. What does the obverse look like?

Centerfire, die issues such as rust or deterioration do not affect the grade.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I agree with the Die Deterioration assessment. You can see the heavy die flow lines, which indicates that the reverse die was heavily worn from striking many Planchets at the mint.
Errers and Varietys.
