not 100% what you are talking about but I think what your pictures focus on are die chips. basically an error when making the coin. I cant remember how it happens

Let us know what you are seeing.

Looks to me that a Kennedy half dollar was made with a well-used die with divots and gouges, which produced bumps on the coin's surface.

It appears the die had clashed and they polished it to remove the clash, but left some rough areas. Spendable:

It being a no FG would further support coop's assessment of it being a polished away die clash.

When a planchet doesn't get into the coining chamber, the field of the die slam together. It makes the outlines of the devices transfer onto each other. To remove this, they polish the dies to remove the clash marks. Removing part of the dies outside (field area). When this happens many times the devices start of suffer on the die and they get thinner or missing in later die polishings. They are done by the mint to cover these clash marks.

If the public polished it would be smooth and not raised on the coin. Raised on the coin is a die issue. Hand polishing the coin would remove/disturb the rims of the coin.
